Our last regular season game is today at 12:45. We have a make-up game next week at 12:15, but Coach Gary said that every time he has a make-up game at the end of a season it's always a rain out. (Will and I think that would be GREAT!)Sophia had her last practice on Thursday night and following practice was the end of season soccer party. During practice (much like the last 3 games) I was out there on the field with her in order to get her to play. She did let go of my hand and chase after the ball alot, but is not in soccer shape and kept complaining that her belly hurt from running. Only when the ball hit her shoe did she kick it, but I have to say she has a powerful kick when she's willing to show off a bit.
At the party the girls were served pizza, cupcakes and pink lemonade. Sophia thought the cupcakes were awesome and each one had a plastic soccer ring on top so every girl got to take home a ring in addition to their trophies and certificates. The trophies are bobble-head girls. They're really cute. As the holiday toy catalogs arrive in the mailbox (almost every day) I let Sophia browse through them and circle things she would like for Christmas. We've already got a list going, but that's a different topic. Ironically, yesterday she found a series of dolls, much like the American Girl doll series, and circled the girl doll wearing a soccer outfit! --- NOT A CHANCE, GIRL!
Will said no more team sports until she is ten. I hope we don't have to wait that long. I hope she want to play a team sport at some point, but she might be better suited in a solo sport like tennis or swimming. She wants to take swimming lessons again so we'll look into that at the rec center again. It's so cheap to do it there and she's really comfortable in that pool. Should turn out to be a positive experience. (smile)
