We signed Liesl up for kindergarten soccer this fall, partly to let her try out a team sport, partly because kinder soccer at FPE is a great opportunity for the children to run around and have fun together and for their parents to socialize once a week. I got to know all the other parents in Sebastian's classes through soccer practices and games and it made me really feel more connected to the school community.There are no games, just weekly practices, and the first one was Sunday afternoon. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen - 30 girls running around, doing their best.
The coach, who is the mother of a kinder girl this year (and has two older children at FPE), divided the girls up into 5 teams, each with a parent coach, and handed out various stuffed animals to serve as team mascots. It was amazing and perfect: team unicorn; team bunny; team pony; team Elsa; team mermaid...
Every once in awhile, instead of running, she'd skip, or prance. It's adorable.
And then on Wednesday, she once again climbed to the top of the rope in gymnastics class (the only girl to do so) and was the fastest runner in their sprint race. That's my girl.
