Soccer


Pickle is playing soccer. She started an eight-week Kinder Kicks program and after 6 weeks she is finally starting to warm up and really play. At the first "practice" she adopted this very odd (for her) shy demeanor and kept running off the field in tears. She still starts each session with hands-in-her-mouth nervousness but now quickly gets into it and tends to shine by the time the scrimmage starts. I actually think she is pretty good and she gets really excited when she scores a goal . . . big grins and thumbs up every time! I am hoping she wants to stick with it because she has a great natural athletic ability that - if she listens to coaches - she could really hone into something.
