Olivia wrapped up her first season of soccer a few weeks ago. She was so excited to get started but at her first game, it was pretty obvious soccer wouldn't be her thing! She would fall down on purpose so she didn't have to run after the ball. She would just sit down in the middle of the field and the coach would have to come get her up. If the ball came by her, she would just look at it. We would say "Olivia, run and kick the ball" and she would say "they are running too fast."
She would run over to us and sit down in the chair during water breaks as if she was just sooo exhausted from all the running. They always got to get snocones at the end of the games so that was her favorite part.
We never figured it out... she wouldn't really do much during the games but on the ride home we would ask her how she liked soccer and she would reply "I loved it! It's great!" So we went back week after week.
Look, I can still see with my jersey on my head!
