Soccer Season Begins...

Ainsley had her first soccer practice... she has a new coach and new team this season as well. We meet her coach and he asks Ainsley, "Are you ready to work hard?" She replies, "Yep." He then says, "Well you will have to work extra hard because you're the only girl on the team." I think my mouth flew open and it was all I could do to keep myself from kicking him in the shins! Afterwards I turned to Stewart and said, "I can't believe he just said that... implying that girls suck."

We were so proud of her at practice she hustled hard... listened far better and kicked harder than most of the boys. Afterwards they had to decide on a name... Ainsley's idea was "Gold Medals" and it won! She was so excited.

Walker will start his practice next week and then both games next Saturday which just had to be scheduled on the exact time. So Stewart and I will have to go with one kiddo and then switch at half time. Thankgoodness only 2 games are scheduled for the same time the rest are either before or after eachother. Should be an interesting year.
