Last Saturday Jolee had her first soccer game and I have not laughed that hard in such a long time, it made the rest of my very long day feel not so long. She did great don't get me wrong, but to watch a bunch of 4yr olds play soccer especially when they really have no idea what's going on = hilarious!
The only thing I know what to compare her to, is Forest Gump...she was runn-in! She ran her little heart out, there would be a group of kids in a tight little circle around the ball and then you would look and here comes Jolee bringing in the back almost running a complete circle around them, but a good distance away.
We watched the video that night, when we got home and all you can hear is...
Me: laughing
Silas: hollering...Jolee watch the ball
Poppy (Bro. David): saying that is precious
Me: laughing
Silas: hollering... Jolee watch the ball
Poppy: saying...there is nothing more precious than that
I am so proud of my little girl and she LOVED it! After the game and the rest of the day, she would say...Mom I ran so fast didn't I? Mom...how good did I do? I was fast as lightening wasn't I? Mom, Poppy said... I did so good and that I was the fastest runner ever!
I asked her that night after watching the video...why did you stay back away from the crowd that was kicking the ball? Her reply...Mom I saw it on TV before and if you are in there, you might get kicked!
And you are probably wondering why she doesn't have soccer socks on, because clearly I know nothing about soccer. I have the van and that's about it. I was told to get cleats, black shorts and shin guards, so that's what I got. Needless to say, her legs were a little red and kinda hurt her where the shin guard straps had rubbed them. We went and got soccer socks the next day!
I know there is no score keeping at this level, but if there were...Green team (we) won 4 to1!
