Sweet Sullivan Grace began her very first organized sport on Sunday -
she is now playing soccer.
she is now playing soccer.
Sullivan was so excited and so eager to play soccer. She had been talking about it for days and asking Quinn a million questions about it. We showed up to the field and she was ecstatic to be there.
There were two groups of Soccer-nastics groups on the field at one time. They started off together and after a few minutes split into two teams. With all the excitement and anticipation Sullivan had for soccer, it was surprising that Sullivan spent the first five minutes of soccer...crying, sobbing, pleading not to play soccer anymore. The boisterous,over the top, animated male soccer coach scared the socks off of Sullivan. So we were pleased when Sullivan was picked to be in the female soccer coach's group when they split apart.
And after the first few minutes being in this group, the sad Sullivan turned into a much different child. Sullivan loved her time on the field and going through all the drills and games.
We may have a future soccer player on our hands...only if Sullivan can forever have "the girl teacher."
