Neko had her first soccer practice today. Things like this always bring out the extremes of her personality. The picture says it all. There she is in her pajama top instead of her uniform (which she insisted on), doing her own thing. Later on, she sat on the side, trying to balance herself on the ball while the others listened intently to the coach. Somehow, during a water break, she lost her ball, and she never got her focus back. The rest of the parctice was all about finding her ball, which we didn’t find until long after practice ended.
Thank goodness this is forgiving league, all about having fun, not training the future Mia Hamm.
Shep, meanwhile, was itching to get into the game. It was all we could do to keep him off the field. Ellery slept. And ate.
