Her first soccer practice was the evening we got home from the hospital with Daniel. She was quite disappointed when I did not go out and watch. She did, however, take pride in all of the pictures that her Daddy took. Now that both Daniel and I have recovered a bit, we have now made it to two games. Ashlynn was having so much fun playing she did not notice Daniel and I left the field for a while so he could eat! That was our week to provide treats for after the game, and we did make it back in time to watch her help pass out the goodies. This last game Daniel wasn't too found of me cheering her team on - something about Momma yelling upset him. Lol! But we are all there as a family to support her and she just loves it.
With his years of soccer experience, the coach has even had Scott helping referee the games or coach a little. Scott is now working Friday night, but he comes in his uniform and goes to work as soon as the game is over. All her teammates got a kick out of having a 'policeman' there to cheer them on.
Here is a compilation of pictures from her games and practices. It is amazing how well all the 4 and 5 year olds listen to the coaches. On Friday nights there are about 80 running around. Organized chaos.
Before the games, all of the teams warm up together
At this age they all just follow the ball up and down the field. So cute!
When they are not practicing, they stand on the white line with their foot on the ball.
Daniel was getting heavy so we all took a break.
The ball goes out of bounds quite a bit, but Ashlynn is quite good at throw ins.
