Trophy Day





Claire barely slept Monday night in anticipation of Tuesday... aka "Soccer Trophy Day."

It was the day she'd been waiting for .... after 8 long weeks of playing soccer ...for 45 minutes once a week... against other 4-5 year olds.... with frequent water breaks.... filled with "drills" like "red light/green light and "animal charades" ...always followed up by Dairy Queen.... you can see how it was grueling for her.

She reveled in the drills, hustled in the scrimmage, and positively BEAMED when the coach handed out the trophy.

Atta girl Claire. We are proud of you for trying something new, prouder of you for sticking with it when you weren't sure you would like it, and proudest of you for wanting to do it again in the fall.
