Today was Emma's last game of her first soccer season. After a few games in the middle of the season where Emma gave no effort and barely got a foot on the ball (let alone any goals), she has surged ahead the last 2 games.
Last week during a rather warm noon-time game, we agreed on her 'incentive' for the game (a reward she gets if she scores a goal or kicks the ball 30 times) was to get to have a play date with Luke. With that in mind, she ran all out, was getting the ball and scored 3 goals. Instead of getting worn out and tired from the very sunny day, she looked like a real soccer player. The legend of Luke continues!
This week at her final game, she continued the good soccer streak by scoring 2 more goals and once again running all over the field trying to get the ball. It was great to see her giving a good effort and helped with the decision on whether to sign her up again for spring soccer (along with the rest of her team that is coming back).
After the game, we had our end of the year party at Life's a Beach. All the girls ran around playing in the sand, and we celebrated the success of the season. After lunch, all the girls got their soccer trophies and had cupcakes. Great job, Emma, on a successful season!

Already motivated by boys. You are in so much trouble. :)
Doesn't Emma look so grown up! Glad she enjoyed the season.
