Maleah had the first game and she was so excited before we left the house -- she was dressed and ready to go early, walking around the house with her soccer cleats on. BUT once we got there and got out on the field she did NOT want to play soccer (and she made sure everyone knew!). The first half hour of her scheduled time is suppose to be for practice. So, I stood out on the field with her holding her hand (trying to get her to stop crying) and trying to convince her how much fun it was going to be......it didn't work!! So, Jeff came and took over -- I went and hid (because she knows if I see her I'll melt and "save" her.). She still made it known that she didn't want to be there, but she tried a little bit more with Jeff (probably because he bribed her with money). She spent the first half of the game running after the ball, crying with tears rolling down her cheeks. But, by the end of the game she had quit crying and actually looked like she was having fun (and had earned 10 bucks from Jeff & his bribe!). Hopefully next week will go better -- she says she's excited to go back.....
Maleah is dressed in the blue shirt -- her team is actually the burgundy team, but they didn't have her shirt for her this week.....
Rena was just the opposite of Maleah......she had no problem getting out there to play. I'm sure it helped that her good friend, Olivia, from school is on the team and that Olivia's dad is the coach. She did really good and is excited for next week also.....

The girls looks so cute. Maleah crying while she is running is funny. I hope she likes it better next time.
