Soccer!

(Yes, she is stopping in the middle of the game to pose for a picture. Gotta love her!)

Sophie played T-ball last year. She spent most of that time talking to the only other girl on the team. Playing T-ball was more of an afterthought. She acually said that her favorite part of every game was lining up at the end and telling each player on the other team "Good game."
So this year she wanted to try soccer. And it's going really well! She scored two goals in their first game. They hadn't even had a practice before that game because it was rained out. The first game was really fun. Both teams did really well. Last week's game was not as good. The other team did not know WHAT they were doing and that slowed things down a bit. She has another game tomorrow and I'm hoping it will be as fun as the first one.
I think Sophie likes soccer because there is more action than in t-ball. When she's on the field (which is most of the time) she is always moving, always doing something. There's not a lot of sitting around and waiting for your turn.
Whenever we get ready to go to a soccer game or practice, Zora always announces that she is going to go play soccer. She has to get on her "soccer shoes":

She says they are her soccer shoes because they have stripes. (Sophie's cleats also have stripes, DUH!)

Last year, she had a "T-ball hat" that she wore to every game:

She also had a pink baseball glove that she brought to every game inside a pink backpack, but for some reason, I don't have a picture of her with it.

She just CANNOT wait until she's four next year and she can play ball, too. She's so adorable! And she IS pretty good at throwing and catching a ball! She could actually catch a ball before she could walk.

I love the look of concentration!

Getting a little coaching.

She's ready to score a goal!
