My Little Soccer Star!

Caroline had her very first soccer game today, and it was a HUGE hit! As you've probably realized about Caroline, she's normally more drawn to princesses and ballet than anything to do with a ball, so we held off on signing her up for a year or two because we wanted to make sure her first experience with team sports was positive. That decision totally paid off! She had been asking since last spring to play, and when she joined her teammates on the field day, what she lacked in skill (it was her very first day, after all!) she more than made up for in enthusiasm! We were so pleased!



She adores her new soccer equipment!



We spent the whole day reviewing the highlights of the game (her team color, the fact that they won, how proud we are).


Way to go, little soccer girl!!! A lot of Shimer family members are awfully proud to day. Your Grandpa Jim would have LOVED it!
