End of the soccer season for the Green Dragons


What an exciting adventure this has been. Watching Julia play soccer was the funniest thing we've done with her so far.
The games were so intense and such a joy to watch. It was amazing seeing our daughter push to herself to new limits. Soccer is a tough sport. I tried running with her for 5 minutes and I was done. I can't imagine how this little girl did it, trying to keep up with 5 and 6 year-old kids for a whole hour.
Julia's main concerns during her games were:
1) Who was bringing treats
2) Make sure you smile every time you run by where mommy, daddy or the grandparents were sitting.
3) Practice your cart wheel moves in the middle of the game.
4) Hold hands with your best friend during the game
5) Look at those cool cleats while you run and perhaps even look at the grass, never mind where that silly ball is, it moves too fast any ways.
6) "Is it time for treats yet!". No, just half time
7) Being polite. You don't take other people's toys when they are playing with them. . . .including the SOCCER ball.
8) advice your teammates about how particularly beautiful the sky is looking that day while the game is still on
9) request to be the golly, even though you are scare the ball might hit your face.
10) to have fun
















Here is Julia almost scoring a goal. I was by myself that night at the game, so I barely had enough time to capture a couple of seconds of her play as she was trying to score
