soccer star.

Olivia is playing soccer this Fall on a team with other 4 and 5 year olds. We are surprised with how much she really loves going to practices.

Last Saturday was her first game and it was fun to watch! They play 3 on 3 on 2 fields at once (right next to each other), so each child plays majority of the game. It's a bit of a free-for-all, but the kids had smiles on their faces so I guess it is fun!

Olivia had a pretty good time and seemed to know where the ball was about 60% of the time. Ha. The changing point came when she kicked the ball from mid-field towards the goal. She had the advantage and kicked it another time or two and scored a goal! The crowd cheered loudly and her teammates came up to give her high fives. She turned away, looked at us, and ran to our arms crying! I was unable to get her back on the field; luckily, the game was nearly over. Any attention is bad in her mind most of the time! She may be the only 4 year old around who loved soccer UNTIL she scored a goal! "Everyone was looking at me and clapping so loud," she said.

After the game we went to Subway and celebrated with her friend Max.

The peanut gallery!
