Ava's first Soccer Game

Ava is getting to be such a beautiful and tall girl!  Daddy decided that she should try sports for the first time...and soccer it is.  (Im thinking she might be better at Basketball & Volleyball...but the jury is till out)  Here she is preparing for her first soccer practice.

First game of soccer!  The shorts and shirt might be a little big, but they told us that as the weather changes, we might need to layer her a bit- this gives us enough room to do just that!

Posing for the camera- as always.

So... the first soccer game was...well as expected....a bunch of little kiddos chasing a ball.  Ava is super fast, but unfortunately she is super timid.  Timid?  What?  She would run, run, and run, then stop right in front of the ball.  We may have to start running some drills over here...of course I am kidding!  We are just thrilled that she is getting the exercise, and enjoying it for the most part.  I am so proud of her for trying new things, and for the ways in which she is just a good sport about nearly everything in life.  (All kidding aside, they may have to develop a penalty box for crazy Puerto Rican moms, that yell at their daughter..."Ava kick it the other way!!!!"...or "Ava come on!!!"....or "Ava you're bigger than everybody else- show some of your skills!!!")  (Of course nobody here fits that description!)
