These pictures make me laugh, because they would give you the impression that at Neko’s first soccer game she totally paid attention and participated and honed her craft. Which couldn’t be further from the truth. We had to coax her onto the field. And she was far more interested in playing with the flagpole than playing in the game. The few times she actually got into the groove, I think she enjoyed herself, but then something else distracted her and off she went onto her own little tangent.
I’m not sure we’ll make it through the season (which is only four weeks, I might add). I don’t want to force her to do something she doesn’t want to do, but I’d also love her to find an outlet for all this energy that doesn’t involve taking nosedives off the highest point she can climb to in our house.
Today, I should also mention, thanks to Renita and Diane, we got to attend an adults-only wedding shower where we ate something other than macaroni and cheese and we didn’t even have to put a single person in a time out. Of course, I was so ecstatic to be in such an environment that I completely forgot to take photos.
