Georgia played soccer for the first season this fall. It was so fun (and hard) to watch her play. I am not sure if you can even call it "playing" at this age - we were glad if she was just able to kick the ball! Having grown up playing soccer, it was difficult to watch the kids just run around in a big group. Mostly, Georgia just ran where everyone else did, whether the ball was there or not. We had many a pep talk ... "watch the ball, not the people". Overall, a really fun experience. I definitely will always remember when Georgia was in the first game, she just had a grin on her face the entire time. She ran by me, grinning, and waved. It just warms my heart even thinking about it now. :) At the bottom if a brief clip of how 4 year olds look when they play soccer (if you can handle watching it!)

| Jackson LOVED playing soccer - he always was saying "that's MY soccer team"! |

| Georgia all lined up ready to score! |
 |
| GOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL! You can't see the ball, but it went in. Look how subtly proud Georgia is. Love it! |
 |
| Jackson was probably one of the best players even though he wasn't on the team! He did have a few minutes of playing time when I was the substitute coach. He did great! |

| The ball is somewhere in there - it pretty much just moves around in a big glob of people like this. |
