The one where Morgan plays Soccer

Since Morgan started Kindergarten in September we thought it would be good for her to be involved in something locally with other kids that she would be going to school with.  I played soccer as a young kid and while I wasn't very good, I'm sure that I had fun.

Having only played soccer for a few weeks in her life, she had a lot to learn.  It was so funny to watch the kids the first game.  You know how you tell kids for basically all their life that they should share, take turns and not take things away from other kids?  Try explaining to them now that it is okay to do all those things, only when playing soccer.  It took a game or two to get over that whole idea (at least for Morgan).  She even scored quite a few goals this season!  Most of all I think she had so fun and made some new friends before school started!

Hummingbird Soccer

Because we have so much free time these days, I decided to sign Morgan up for a 6-week soccer stint at the Tallmadge Rec.  It's run by Jump Start sports and only an hour a week on Sundays so it really wasn't so bad.  She was in the Hummingbird division on the Royal Blue team. I'm not sure if Morgan will be a big fan of soccer much to Uncle Corey's dismay.  She's not exactly real aggressive when it comes to doing the drills or when they play actual games.  She will get in the mix for a little bit, then get bored and find something else to do.  She really likes the water breaks, and playing her favorite game, What Time is it Mr. Fox?.  I don't think she's the next Mia Hamm quite yet though. 

Enjoying one of those water breaks!

Squishing the bug.

She got to be a fox during the Mr. Fox game.

Again, another water break.

Waiting for her medal.

Finding it to be utter bullshit that she can't participate in any of Morgan's sports.

Cheering for the yellow team!

Last team huddle.

Officially a soccer player!
