Sooooooooo......how'd they do at soccer....considering they haven't ever, ever done anything remotely like this before?? And their parents haven't educated them in the finer art of what a soccer ball even looks like?? Yea...we're losers in that sense. But really, how'd they do??.... Magnificent mostly. Yea...those are good words. Mostly magnificent with everly a melty moment here and there. The BIG, BIG, BIG ...did I say BIG???!!shocker suprise was Miss Eloise herself... who got in there...listened (!) , followed directions and ran, and ran, and ran, and ran....then came home and ran, and ran, and ran, and ran some more down to Mom Jo's house and back.. She AMAZED us! Needless to say...we were stunned. We totally expected the opposite. The daddy had a great time analyzing her gait, and muscle movements, and muscle type...yada, yada, yada. He definitely took the scientific approach. (He's boarded in Sports Med.).... so Leni liked it until she got hit with a ball in the nose...and the running got a little rough as the temps soared into the mid-80's. When she got hot...she was done. Her exact words were...."IGIVEUPPPPPPPPPWAHHHH!" So what'd we do?? We dangled the yes-a-parent-can-do-this-carrot..."Leeeeeeennnnniiiii...your team has snacks for you after the game if you keep on.......if you stop....no snacky......ok, Lennnnnniiiiii??? MMMMM it looks good....don't give up now!! Don't quit!!! Almost time for SNNNNAAAAACCCCCKKKKKSSS!!!!" It worked. She wants to go back next week to see what the snacks are.:)Uh.....and she needs a helmet. And a mouth guard. And a nose guard. Maybe armor??!! Katie had fun too. None of the girls will wear shin guards yet. They'll figure it out....maybe the hard way. Anyway...a good time. Thanks Vickie and Mike for organizing all of it!!
Coming preview.......we've been busy. Look for Spring Break fun soon!!
