Soccer

Elaina played another season of soccer.  Let's just say that this year was like night and day compared to last year.  Last year she literally ran away form the ball.  No joke.  This year, she was not afraid to get in there and go after the ball.  Erik worked with her and she really blossomed this year - what a difference a year makes.  She scored almost every game.  She is pretty quick (she gets that from her daddy) so if the ball ever got loose, that was her sweet spot.  She loved to take it all the way down the field :)

Okay...sorry....enough of the proud mom moment.

She played with her friend Olivia so that made the season even more special and fun AND we got the extra added bonus of getting to see the Ford's at least once week.  We really liked her coach this year too.  He was just the right amount of encouraging and instructional without being too worried about winning.  So, overall it was a great season.  Best part is Elaina has shown an interest in soccer and says she wants to play again next year - something she did NOT say last year.  So, an improvement - always good.
