Game On!

Today Mallory had her first Soccer game! She was ready to play!

Mommy took some pre-game photos...



As soon as we got there, Mallory got her new Orange Crush jersey...


We picked #3 for the 3 year-old...

Coach Travis wanted Mallory to start the game, but she started to cry on the field. So, she sat out the first period. I asked her what was wrong, she said she didn't want to play soccer...


So, she watched from the bench...

When she went in the game, she just wanted to hold the coach's hand...

When Mallory was in the game, the other team definitely had an advantage...it was 5 on 4...

Mallory got to kick off, but she still had to hold Coach Travis' hand...


Finally, she let go of the coach's hand...


Now, walking by herself...it's getting better...


It also helps when Mallory's buddy, Kayden, is in the game with her...


You can do it Mallory!


Kicking off ALL by HERSELF!!


Now she is running after the ball!



She improved as the game went on...we will do some practicing this week before next week's game...


Got to have a post-game snack...

and, drink!
