In March, Lucy decided she was done with dance. A couple of weeks later, we were asked if she wanted to play soccer. So we traded tap shoes for a soccer ball!
She played on a team made entirely of kids in our neighborhood - both Lucys, Daxton, Kelsey, Gabe, Jake, Zeke, Zoey, Michigan, and Eva. I'm listing them because we didn't end up getting a team photo to remember. She wouldn't get in it.
She loved the idea of soccer but had a hard time at first being convinced to play. Once we got her on the field, she loved it!
She is a really fast runner and was usually up in front with the more aggressive kids. She wasn't always ready and willing to kick the ball but the more she did it, the more comfortable she was.
Her soccer games were some of the only times she'd let us do her hair. Isn't it cute in pigtails? :)
Here she is with some of her teammates. I think soccer is a good extra-curricular for Lucy because she doesn't like to be singled out and in the spotlight. With soccer she can be a part of the team and kind of blend in.
I sure enjoyed going to her games too. It was fun to see her grow and have fun.
