Nick was ready for Camille to be old enough to play soccer and we agreed that this year was the year to try it. Well, I have to say, she went out there every game and put in a fair amount of effort. She loved the practice drills, but wasn't very into the concept of one on one competition or the overall game. If Nick wasn't an assistant coach, Camille may have never lasted the whole season. She did like the concept of soccer.... that is getting to bring her pink soccer ball and wear her pink laced soccer shoes each Saturday. What she didn't appreciate were the gray/black uniforms, the running hard, or having other kids take her ball from her. Oh, but she did love snack time.
At the end of the season, all of the kids got trophies.... Camille proudly displays hers in her room. At least if you aren't going to enjoy something, a shiny trophy with your name on it sure makes it seem a bit better.... not to mention the end of year doughnuts too!
So we are glad we tried it, though I think it will be another few years before we attempt it again :)
