Soccer Girl

So Mom hesitantly signed Ella up for soccer again this year. Remembering back to last year when Ella much preferred to gossip with the girls on the sidelines to actually kicking the ball. We decided to give it another chance with a different coach. With practice every Monday night and games every Saturday morning it gave Mom and Dad a glimpse of future years.

This year Ella was part of the hurricanes with "Coach Nic" and she did wonderfully. Ella turned out to be one of the best players on her team, scoring 1-2 goals each game. Although her team was not the most talented, the girls had a great time. Mom attributes her newly found soccer skills to practice beating on her brothers, uncovering her hidden aggressive behaviors.

More practice time ....

Ready to go girls.

The best part - a victory snack.
