A month ago, Kylie joined her 1st athletic team and played her first "competitive" sport. Mommy and daddy were surely the most excited. We have both dreamed of this day since we found out that we would be parents. Sports have been always been a huge part of our lives, both independently and together.
We were thrilled to see that Ky enjoyed herself! Once the "game" began she did a lot of running around (running around the ball!) but not a lot of kicking. It was pretty cute to see the little swarm of bees chase that ball all over the field.
She pleasantly surprised us week 2 with a much less timid demeanor and even made some semi-aggressive moves and actually kicked the ball a handful of times!
Week 3, she mostly just had fun. It was a muddy mess, again (apparently spring soccer=mud soccer), and she lost her shoe in the mud at one point, but ran around that field with a smile on her face the entire time! She also really loves the 50 water breaks they get and of course, the snacks after the game (go figure)!
Here are some pics from her first 3 games:

Proud daddy!

Muddy but happy yet again! So far, soccer is a success!
