And on Sunday, Molly joined her first Soccer team. She had no interest in soccer until recently, when suddenly she really very strongly wanted to be part of a team ("A real soccer team"). And in competing ("I want to play in real soccer games!"). Which is great. Except that sign-ups for all the local leagues was in May. I contacted the two most popular ones and they were full. But when I saw how disappointed Molly was that she couldn't play until the spring, I contacted all the other teams that were a reasonable distance. One responded, and we went to our first practice on Sunday. I had no idea what to expect, but it was great. The coach is very mellow and their number one goal is for the kids to have fun.
Molly was ecstatic when we went shopping for cleats & shin guards on Saturday. She was a little tentative as we waited for practice to get started. But once it was underway, she was clearly having a great time. Now she just wants the uniform already!
