The Little Miss and Little Mister took their first shots at soccer this year – the Little Miss in the spring and then the Little Mister in the fall. Both started out enthusiastically enough, but I think the aggressiveness of the game and the other players really freaked them out. Alas, some stagefright, dramatic meltdowns, and a particularly embarrassing spitting incident followed. Sigh.
For us as parents both seasons were, shall we say, stressful. And short-lived. But at least Daddy and I got to shower our Littles with attention and encouragement as we “practiced” all of our great cheerleading skills.
“Yay!” for us.
Sigh (again). This Athlete Mama is so hoping for a sports-driven child to live vicariously through (I know, I know…it’s not about me, give them space, be patient, blah blah blah). I can’t help myself. I’m their #1 fan.
We’ll just chock these two seasons up as educational “life experiences” for all of us…and appreciate how cute they looked in their soccer gear.
