Future Soccer Star?

Taidyn played soccer for the first time this week.

Well, sort of.

On Thursday, Taidyn began Little Kickers soccer, a program for children ages 3-5. It was quite the spectacle, that's for sure. Taidyn looked the part: She donned a pair of shorts and a jersey, shinguards and sneakers. Did she play the part? Not really. :)

Let's just say that the coaches know Taidyn's name. It was, "Taidyn, come here!," or "No, Taidyn, kick the ball," or "Where are you going, Taidyn?" But it wasn't all bad. Taidyn proved an expert at sitting on the soccer ball -- even when others were trying to kick it!!!

At the end of practice, one of the other parents approached me and asked, "Do you see any World Cup potential?" I responded, "Does the World Cup have an event for sitting on the ball?" ;)

We're going to try again Tuesday. Maybe Taidyn will kick the ball this time.
