Kaylin's first soccer game!!

Spring 2008 soccer season started tonight! Kaylin is finally old enough to play, and has talked about nothing else for days. The girls are playing on the same team. This will be the only time, as Macy will move up a league this fall if she continues to play.
Here's Kaylin during pratice; she was so proud of her jersey, new socks and cleats.

Macy played pretty well. She almost made a goal, but a little girl on the other team came running from out of no where and tripped right in front of Macy, and Macy tripped over her. It was so nice to see Macy playing hard; sometimes she doesn't while playing soocer.

Kaylin's BFF Madelyn was upset Kaylin couldn't play with her, but she sat with us during the game and watched the girls. They are cute together.

At first, Kaylin wasn't sure what to do. She kind of just ran around, and kept hopping up and down. The coach would have to remind her to keep running after the ball. But about 1/2 way through, she figured out what to do. She couldn't really keep up with the other girls, but she tried. Her little legs are just too short! At least she didn't cry, like Macy did every game her first season!!

My two soccer stars!

It will be interesting to see how Kaylin develops this season and grows. It is just a miracle to me that she is able to run as well as she can--she didn't really walk until she was over 2 years old, she had severe hip problems and spent 4 months in a body cast. That's what I kept thinking about as she was running around the field. I can remember asking her doctor if she would ever be able to play soccer, and here she is. I am so thankful.
