Our little Emma has been wanting to play soccer since she saw Abby play when she was 4. Emma would toddle around at the ripe old age of 1, kicking the ball on the sidelines.
Now that Emma is 4, she can finally play soccer. Abby has long since ended her soccer career - retiring after just 2 seasons. So, Emma hasn't seen an actual game in quite some time. But, she has been practicing outside (as you see below getting a few pointers from coach Bailey) and has talked constantly about this practice we had tonight as well as her first game a week from Saturday.
Emma did great at her first practice. She started playing immediately with her new teammates, and you'd think they had been best friends for years. She actually went after the ball. Emma was squealing with delight every time she got the ball and started kicking it towards the goal. We can't wait to watch her at her first game!

What a cute soccer girl!
Love the pointed toe picture - maybe a hint of a diva?? :)
She is just precious. Take lots of pictures. Can't wait to hear how it goes.
