I swear, when this school year is over I am never signing up Lydia for soccer again. She is really good at it, and she enjoys it. So what's the problem you ask? She refuses to play or practice if I'm not literally on the field with her. That works fine for practices, her coach doesn't object to it because its an extra pair of hands that actually are semi-familiar with playing soccer. But at games, well lets just say it takes a lot of bribing and coaxing to get her on the field for any of the second half. The one time we got her there at the beginning of the game, she stood there and HOWLED at the top of her lungs like it was the most horrible torture on earth. She is definitely more of a ballet kind of child, soccer was NOT a good idea for her.
At least Melissa gets out there and plays though. Even if she is kicking the ball into her own goal and stops to chase butterflies or pick flowers during a game LOL
The only really cute thing about Lydia's soccer is when Jordan runs out during practices and starts playing with them (like she did today, they used the extra balls to mark goals until she took one and started playing soccer like the big kids *oops*) I have a feeling she'll do great at soccer in a couple years, she sure loves it right now (just like Melissa did, heck Melissa we bought a soccer game for her for Christmas a couple years ago to play on our PS2 and she was in heaven playing it with daddy's help)
Wrap-up time, Jordan is licking my computer desk again to get my attention LOL

Hahaha, poor Lydia and poor Mommy! Makayla would be the same - soccer is too loud and busy. She'd rather dance.
At least now you know. ;)
I just wish I had known before paying for fall and spring seasons both with her. The thing is she really likes it, once we manage to get her on the field she does great and runs and plays and is just awesome. Its her confidence I think that is the issue, I know that when fall season is done she'll cry because she likes playing and wants to do soccer practice (I can actually use taking away practice or a game as motivation to get her to doing her chores lol)
