Soccer!


Today was Jayna's first day of soccer. It was the perfect day for it too, sunny and 20C! She was so excited for everything about it, picking her jersey number (#4), bringing the snack (watermelon) and being a "soccer star" (as she puts it). We were so happy that she has her friend Rylan on her team too. In the car Jayna and Kepler kept singing "paass, shoooot, SCORE!" (my kids watch way too much Backyardigans).

I totally thought that Jayna would be the kid who's picking dandelions and daydreaming on the field. But she surprised me, she was right in there and loving it! This is going to be a great way to spend our Saturday mornings for the next couple months. It doesn't get much cuter than a huge group of little kids all trying to kick one soccer ball! ;)

(I can't believe my big girl is still 4, she looks like she could be 7 in this picture)

Um, reading this just makes me jealous all over again! But I'm glad she loved it, and your pictures look so summery! Look at that green grass! I love that Jayna chose #4 since she's 4, because Cohen chose #3 since he's 3!

P.S. You're jealous of our WHITE jerseys? Really? I thought white was the worst. Hello soccer snacks...oranges, watermelon, strawberries, not to mention grass stains. Boo!

This is so cute! Jax did soccer last year and it was so cute, ...I already miss it! I should have thought ahead. She does look so much older in these pics! (It's the hair cut! Haha! ...I'm just trying to bug you). So fun!

I love to see all the little soccer players running up and down the field, a patch of colour chasing a ball. Love the orange, love the smile, love this little soccer player!
