Soccer Chick



Tressa signed up for soccer this year with a few of her friends from church. We weren't sure how this would all pan out because Tressa is a bit of a girly girl, but at the same time she's pretty athletic. Lately she's really shown a competitive side too...if you don't believe me try playing Candy Land or Memory Game with her. She hates to lose. Everyone in my family is sitting there thinking...hmmm this sounds familiar! I was the same way as a child. My siblings stopped wanting to play games with me because I always had to win. Anyway, Tressa is really loving soccer. She is definitely not the most aggressive kid out there. The girly girl side of her is not going to risk get trampled by the pack just to get one kick at the ball. But she's a pretty good runner and has no problem keeping up. She understands the game pretty well for a 3 year old and keeps herself near the action most of the game. She also loves being outside and I think she feels special that we all come to watch her play. She is always so proud of herself after practice and games. I'm proud of her too for trying something new and doing her best.

Isn't she cute in her soccer gear?
