Just Breath
Since September of 2012 my daughter has talked about soccer. After staying with some good friends who have two boys that play soccer, Naomi constantly asked when she too would be going to soccer practice. Her cousin plays college soccer, her sisters play soccer at school so why wouldn't she too play soccer?Slacker mom took her time in finding a local league but in February we signed up for a beginner's soccer league just for Naomi's age group. She was thrilled. I was thrilled. We were all thrilled. I had these firm ideas about team sports were so good for kids her age and the hand eye coordination would really help her in future sports. So with two months to go I tucked away the confirmation email and marked the starting day on my calendar. Any trip to our friends who have the boys who play soccer sparked up the conversation again and I would always be able to answer "well starting in April, you too will be playing" which inevitably got a 'yay!' response....
