1st Game

Tonight was Taylor's first (practice) soccer game. Her first ever game as part of a team. She was very excited and ready to play. During the 3rd quarter she got drilled in the head from a kid who kicked way too hard to be playing with 4 year old kids (the league is 4-6). She's probably one of the youngest having just turned 4 and along with being the smallest she's at a little disadvantage. That did not stop her from returning to the field and finishing the game (we were very proud she chose to get back out there). She turned into the emotional little girl she is after going back out on the field because she said the other kids wouldn't let her play. Really it was just her not being fast or big enough to get the ball. I asked her if she had fun and she still said yes and that she wanted to keep playing and told her coach she would see him Saturday for the next game. It looks like she will continue to go and play and have a good time, but it may be a long season for Mommy.

Part of Taylor's audience...Mr. Tyson (don't you love his bullseye forehead-center bruise from falling or something to the right of that is a bruise from going head first into a wall and to the left of the center bruise is a mosquito bite) ----------

The newest member of our family (little Huggly himself) was also in attendance, but im hoping to get some better pics of him and make a post all about him.
