Soccer Shrimps

Emaline had her very first soccer game today! When I first asked her what she wanted to do this year, sports or dance, there was no hesitation: sports. Which actually surprised me because of her obsession at times with pink. Here was our conversation:

"Would you like to play sports or try dance class this year?"
"Yes Mom, I wanna play soccer."
"Okay, we can do that. Are there any other sports you'd like to try? How about baseball?"
"No"
"How about basketball?"
"No. I want to swim. Can I swim in the winter?"
"Sure, we can do that. Anything else?"
"Yes, I'm going to play golf with Pepere"

I gotta hand it to her, the girl knows what she wants. So she was signed up for a six week soccer program where its 4 & 5 yr olds and they practice for 20-30 minutes, then play a game for 30 minutes. It is quite possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen. There are no goalies and all the kids just run around after the ball, usually going the wrong way. Such fun. So far everyone on Emaline's team is really into it and all good sports...well, Little Miss Sunshine had a moment where she was convinced that she would never play soccer again, but I have a feeling after a few days she'll want to get back into that saddle. :-) Here are some pics of the game!
