She loved playing with the other kids, who are all 5-6 years old. I think the most fun she had was playing Sharks and Minnows. For soccer this game is a little different. The minnows dribble the ball past the sharks with their feet, trying to not let the shark kick their ball away. Most of the kids it seemed wanted to become sharks, so they went slowly across trying to get caught. This was the case for Chloe. Then when she became a Shark, she started sounding like a Dinosaur or Lion, growling at the kids as she ran up to them to get their ball. I can only imagine what these games are going to be like. I picture Chloe running after kids flailing her arms and growling at them. At least we know she is having fun!!!
Oh her other favorite part of the first day was getting her jersey. She kept pointing to the back of the shirt at the #4 on the back and then at the little soccer guy on the front. Then saying "I got a jersey".
Here's a couple pictures. It was a good way for me to end the day after receiving some bad news about my hip at the doctor's earlier in the day. (details at post below) The little things that kids do and say help put a positive spin on things.
