Soccer Mom

So it's official...I am now a soccer mom.  Well, a soccer mom minus the minivan!  We wanted to get Lainey involved in some extracurricular activities, so our options for this age are soccer and cheerleading.  We asked Lainey what she wanted to do, and she said cheerleading...obviously we decided to do soccer first!  We'll save the other for it's proper season-fall!  Anyways...

Lainey is on a team with six other 3 year olds.  They are the Mighty Kicker Jaguars, and are one of the most entertaining sights I have had in awhile!  I don't think there was a single kid today who did not shed some tears or throw some sort of fit...Lainey included!  She was coaxed into playing with the promise of a treat after it was over.  Thank you Coach Scott for the promise of twinkies and juice!  We'll see how next week goes.  I'm trying to figure out how you teach your 3 year old (who in every other situation is taught to share) that it is okay, and actually encouraged, to take the ball away from the other kids!  Any tips would be greatly appreciate! :) 

She's not exactly the best player yet, but she clearly looked the best!
