Kick it!

I figured since I have already posted about Lex and his

awesome soccer abilities, I should let you know that Evey

and Paris are playing too.

Evey is having a ton more fun this year. She is actually to

the age level where the girls start caring about playing as

opposed to their moms making them play. Evey has always

loved playing and is actually thinking about trying out for

the competitive team-rather than just park and rec. I'm

all for it, I played competitive starting about 5th grade

and had a blast!

This girl was at least a foot and a half taller than Evey,

but Evey had no problem taking the ball from her!

Paris has been a different story this season. We are

one of the parents forcing their kids to play. She

does well when she feels like it, and so I know she

has the ability, but her mind is just on other things.

We'll make her play a few more seasons, and if she

doesn't warm up we'll think about dropping it. She

has expressed interest in hockey, so that could be

an option. But she loves T-ball and it's really only

this season that she has said she doesn't want to

play soccer (it kills me!!), so we'll just give it some

time and work with her in the off seasons.

She did have fun playing goalie a few times and

expresses to her coach she would like to do that more,

but he doesn't really pay attention to her.

Maybe that's the problem...
