Claire's Soccer Game

This afternoon Claire played in the second soccer game of her budding career. She's been begging for over a year now to play on a seasonal team and not just week-long soccer camps during the summer. She's been practicing twice a week and now has games every weekend. Last week she scored a goal and her team won!

This week she played well, but her team lost 3-0. She didn't seem too dismayed or disheartened that her team had lost; she was more concerned that the ball had the audacity to hit her in the face. I tried explaining to her that soccer was a contact sport, but I think she still holds a grudge against the ball. Of course, this is Claire who stopped running after the ball during the game to apologize to the little girl who'd fallen down next to her. Well even if not competitive, she was cute in her uniform.
