Soccer: Pull Back

Week 2 of soccer (after a one week break) was another success. I never saw a smile anything close to this when we did ballet, aside from when we picked out our "tard".

This week Coach Mike introduced the "pull back" so there was a lot of running to get your ball.  Despite being one of the youngest (you'd never know it based on size), Natalie can out run a lot of the kids. And yes, she is wearing a zebra print skirt to soccer.

The two other girls in this photo are 2/3 the triplets in her class.  They are 5 and Natalie says they go to her school.  The girl in the blue skirt cries at least 5 times each week for any teenie little reason.  Her mom laughs at her... which is good because the rest of the parents (myself included) are trying their absolute hardest to contain their giggles.

After introducing a skill and practicing it a variety of ways, it is time to scrimmage.  This week she was on the orange team - which had the power house kid who I'm pretty sure is on the upper end of the age bracket and has played soccer at least once before (lil dude with the blue sunglasses on). They named themselves the "Orange Cheetahs" and they pretty much crushed the other team.
