In preparation for Nellie's "Little Kickers Preschool Soccer" league coming up, Kevin bought the girls a new soccer ball today. Just for reference, the team practices for the first three weeks, with a scrimmage the final week. :) She gets a t-shirt. Our friend is the coach.
We took the ball to Kevin's bird dog trial today. At first, Nellie didn't want to play with it because she was afraid it would get dirty. After I told her that a dirty ball is cool because people will know she's a hard-core soccer player, she went to rub mud on it, which was preferable to her rolling in the mud, which is what she told me she was going to do!
Anyway, the girls had fun playing soccer at the farm. This evening, we walked to the park and Kevin taught Nellie about trying to score a goal and how to be a goalie. On her last shot of the night, she missed the goal and shouted "aw, nuts!" as she fell dramatically to the ground. She got up a moment later holding an acorn and yelled, "hey, a nut!"
A nut, indeed! That girl cracks me up.
Jamie, Trevor and I have had many laughs over this story since you first posted it. Even the girls have had to re-enact it several times over. So cute!
ReplyDeleteToo funny, Lisa! It was one of those burst-out-laughing parenting moments. :)
