We decided to sign Addison up for soccer this season. She has practices on Thursdays down the street from us. And she has the cutest coach (that would be her daddy, by the way)! At the YMCA meeting, no one volunteered to be the Head coach for the team and for some reason, people looked at Kevin like he would be a great guy for the job! I have to say, I am proud of him for taking on the commitment and I know Addison is proud that her daddy is out there with her!
We were both a little concerned how she would do with soccer since she has never played a team sport and is a pretty shy, non-aggressive girl. But to our surprise, she has done great! She is participating, keeping up with everyone, and getting right in there with her team!
At her game, she started out really strong and seemed to be loving it! After a while, she asked to go out of the game – I think was just getting so worn out because it felt like a million degrees out there! Obviously, that is to be expected and worked out fine considering all the girls have to take turns playing during the game. We are so proud of how well she did and her team even won their first game! GO SHARKS!
Cooper was there and wanted to get right in the game with the girls. I kept reminding him that he can't play on the girls team and he has to be 4 years old. After a while of being out there, he said, "Mommy, I want to go home!" And I thought, "We have to get used to this, buddy. This is the first of many games that we will be attending, either with Addison playing or Cooper playing!"
You are so funny! That's so cool that Kevin is the coach. What a great dad! I have never thought about putting Avery in soccer but now I'm seriously considering letting her at least try it!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Love all their little pictures, especially the last one with Cooper's little foot on the ball. And I am so impressed that Kevin took on coaching after all he's been through lately. What a guy!!! I know Addison must be so proud to have her Daddy as the coach!!
ReplyDeleteAddi looks like such a pro in the 2nd picture! I think it's the cutest thing in the world, to be as beautiful as she is and also play a sport that is most commonly reffered to as a "boy" sport. If we can find a weekend where Cole and Addi play at different times, we would love to watch one of your games soon.
