Sorry, since I don't have any kids of my own, I brag on my niece and my dog. :)
On the 16th, we got to go up to Portage again and see Caida's soccer "tourney." It was just an ordinary game, really, and they tied 1-1. But it was an intense game. Caida got hit right smack in the face with the ball, but was very brave and kept on playing (she especially loved when everyone cheered for her courage and sportsmanship, and I wish I had a picture of her cheering for herself!).
Caida also kicked the ball for the first time ever. Apparently this is quite the improvement from her first game, in which she sat down on the ground and pulled at the grass. But that's normal for 5-year-old sports, it turns out; there was also a butterfly chaser and a line-walker on her team. :) Caida loves running right behind all the other kids who are chasing the ball and just laughing hysterically. So actually kicking the ball was a rush! This is her cheering for herself after finally kicking the ball:
And, of course, the food and trophy are why Caida really loves playing soccer. Look at that pride!
We also went to Pepe's afterwards. Caida is posing with Cassie here:
It was a lot of fun. Thanks to Mom for driving us, and thanks to Cerene and James for letting us come cheer Caida on! Go, Yellow Jackets! :)
