Maisie finished her first (and maybe only) soccer season and it was a lot of fun to set up our chairs, eat our packed snacks and cheer on our little Maisie Moo every Saturday morning. She's a naturally cautious kid, so she was weary to get in the action because she was either afraid she would get hurt or she would hurt someone else (it got to the point that Austin decided to pay her .25 cents for every time she touched that ball haha). We tried to reassure her that with the proper gear she most likely wouldn't get hurt, but after facing some tough competitors and seeing a couple teammates get hit in the face, point blank and at a velocity that even the toughest adult would probably sob in pain, she decided that maybe soccer isn't a good fit for her. She finished the season strong and improved, but she decided that piano lessons would probably be something she enjoys more. I am proud of her for trying and sticking out a whole season!
p.s I love the evolution of the grass color in these pictures from early April to the end of May.
