Soccer girl

Hua Hua is playing soccer! She's on the munchkin team -- about 40 or 50 kids who all practice together on Tuesday and then team up to play a half dozen games or so on thursdays. Man, does she love it!

On Monday we picked out her shoes, socks, shin guards and ball -- all pink, of course. When we brought them home that day, i had the hardest time getting her to take them off. the coach of her league is great - he manages to keep the attention of 40-50 boys and girls, all ages 4 to 6, and teach them things as well, which is amazing. It is a no-stress league where the teams switch each week and where he tries to match kids with their skill level. Hua Hua played her first game tonight and she did pretty well. She and a big boy on the opposite team seemed to be going against each other with the ball most of the night - she even shot two goals -- but unfortuately she shot them in a neighboring goal net, verses the one she was supposed to shoot it in, so it didnt count! the first picture is of her at practice Tuesday, the second is of the game - with her and the big boy going at it.

Grandma and Grandpa came along and shot some video. If you'd like to see her in action, click here:
