It was Ashlyn's first game yesterday and there is just something so cute about watching the five year olds play. For most of the kids on Cody's team it's their first year playing so the goal is just to get them to kick the ball in the right direction, that's about it! Ashlyn also had to learn that dad is different than "coach dad". Ashlyn was really good about going the right way but the first time she was faced with opponents her and her other 2 teammates just sat there and watched them run to their goal. We were all cheering for them to run and get the ball and you could just see the light bulb moment go off when they realized "oh yeah, they are going to make a goal". It was so cute and a few kids even did hand stands on the field during the game. I just love watching this age group. I love watching Jeremy's team play for the fun of watching him actually use what he's learned so far and try his best but there's just something so cute and funny about watching the five year olds skip and sing instead of running and kicking after the ball.
Ashlyn has another game tonight and that's it for this week. Next week Jeremy is playing here and Ashlyn has an away game so I won't get to watch her play but the ornery side of me that hates traveling to that particular town is glad. It takes me all day washing uniforms and getting snacks and washing water bottles and finding cleats and shin guards and and and... so the last thing I want to do is drive 45 min in the wrong direction. Hopefully it will cool down next week, holy smokes it's hot outside when you're sitting and baking for an hour with no shade!
Hey Bridget, you can definately send some that heat my way, it's getting down to 0 degress here tonight!! BTW thanks for stopping by my blog!
