Soccer started. I was unprepared this year, but the kids are enthusiastic. Ada wants to sign up for at least one more year. Her favorite position is defender. She gets to run around, but gets little breaks in between. We had to get her new cleats the day of her first game. She's growing so fast. We usually get used cleats from Play it Again Sports, but this time we were looking for something that we could put her inserts into without hurting her feet. We ended up with nice-ish cleats and compression socks. That seemed to be the best compromise. Ada is learning how to compromise. It's coming at a lot of patience from all sides, but it's good to see her grow. Ada's team won and she was thrilled.
Seth was super excited about starting soccer. He runs like a little champ and says that he needs to make a goal. I'm looking forward to watching him learn how to play. Their team lost, but he had a blast.
Sam is a little out of shape running wise, but he was so ecstatic that he got to start playing again. His soccer team is the only group of kids that I've seen him get excited about outside of a couple at school and his cousins. Sam's team won by a landslide this time. That's got to feel good coming into your new season.
Evelyn started again too, but she missed her first game. At practice, I had her put her inserts into her cleats and I've NEVER seen her play that well. She usually stands by the goal and cheers on her team. This time she actually played. I don't know if we'll sign her up ever again, she'd prefer to do ballet and that's better for her feet anyways. It is good to know that she's going to enjoy this last season though.
