Soccer

This is the only picture i got of Addie's soccer game. It was very interesting. Not in a way where everyone was standing around not doing anything but in the fact that all the kids that were maybe a little older than Addie were very aggressive and FAST. She did really good for a few minutes but then it was time for a drink break and as she started walking toward us she burst into tears, "They are big boys that won't let me have a turn and i can't make a goal!" We had to tell her how good she was doing and that not everyone makes a goal every time and that is why we practice and yada yada yada. Convinced, she went back out to play. About 4 more times she was coming to us crying. I think she eventually had fun and wants to continue, which is good, but it was intense. She is really pretty shy until she gets to know you, and I think it was very overwhelming for her today because she is not very comfortable with anybody even on her own team yet. Her coach never showed up for her first practice and was 40 minutes late to the second so she was not very prepared for the game and hopefully she can gain some confidence in the future so she can run with the big boys!!
