Ashlynn has been practicing with her soccer team for the past few weeks. We were unsure of how her first game would go, based on her fear/weariness at practice...and we were right to have apprehensions!
Bailey was SO excited to wear her purple and orange shirt and "cheer" on the Tigers!
Ashlynn got out and practiced a bit before the game.
But then, fear hit. She wanted Mama and only mama.
She was NOT a fan of a team picture!
We did get her to join the pre-game meeting, though!
When it came time for her to play, she would only go if I went. So out I went! I kept trying to convince her to let Mark go with her-because lets be honest, sports are MUCH more his thing!
Finally, (after a bribe from the grandparents!) she grabbed Mark's arm and willingly went out to play!
She even let go of his hand and ran off to play at the end!
They were both pretty excited about that!
We are hoping that each game gets easier for her, and mostly just wanting for her to have fun learning something new!
