Game on!

Aerya was fantastic at her first game! She ran so hard and got quite a few kicks at the ball.

The coaches tried to have the team go out in shifts and the rest of them would sit on the group blanket and wait for their turn. The kids are all about 3 years old, so there's a great mix of personalities.

Aerya was on the first shift, then sat off one, but was then on for the next 6 shifts straight. There were enough kids who'd had enough of the game to allow the rest to play all they wanted. By the second half of the game, we'd noticed a definate pattern of Aerya's... she would go, go, go, but then get distracted and be off in the opposite direction of the ball. What was she looking for? The goal posts!
For the Little Kickers (as her league is called), they use these florescent orange posts and Aerya loves to try to hurdle over them (unsuccessfully as they're up to her waist) and knock them over. But the name of the game is fun, and sure has a ton of it. And she will join back into the game...if you can get her attention!
