She shots.... she SCORES

Audrey's 1st soccer game was this morning. There are 6 kids on the team. They let them warm-up and practice for about 30 minutes and play for about 20-30 minutes. It was too cute and funny. Audrey couldn't get the concept of taking the ball away from the other team. I mean, the game does go against everything we tought them- don't take things and wait your turn. She did score the only goal her team got. The other team scored like 4 or 5 (I lose count). The boys on the other team had no problem taking it away from our team. We were very proud of her. She went onto the field and played without either of us having to go with her. She did a little crying but not much and the other players had their parents on the field with them so I think that in itself is an accomplishment. Of course, there are not real coaches, some teenage girls help them but they did a great job with the kids! Finally, the most important thing, at least I think so, i s after the game the make both teams line up and give high-fives to each other for sportsmanship. I LOVE that they do that. Here are some pictures of her practicing, stretching and playing. A few of Clara cheering her on too! After they finsh they all get snacks and Audrey shared her with her cheerleader- so sweet! We play again Thursday night!
