The season went really quickly and soccer is already over, the first few practices and games I thought Taylor couldn't wait for this day. She wanted to quit so many times, I told her she didn't have to sign up again but she has to finish what she started. We had 1 game where the coach had to keep subbing her out as she just stood and cried. We have had many practices where she will literally just follow the ball and pray that the time goes quickly. Then the past two weeks she has been different, she knows her team mates better now and has developed this confidence I didn't think I would see, she started really enjoying herself and laughing and smiling on the field. On her very last game she stepped it up and she was fantastic, as you can see from the pictures she is really getting in there trying to get the ball, she did get it quite a few times and she was so proud of herself. Her coach is going to try and keep the team together for next season which will be brilliant for all of them. After the game they went to the park for pizza and cake. After they gave out awards and certificates, Taylor was delighted with hers. She can not wait for the next season to start. Never say never but I think Ballet might be in our past now.
You know she looks pretty "pro" as well! I know she is shy, but she sure does try it all. Wish I had been more like your girls. I may have learned something! :)
