Soccer: The 3 Year Old Experience

We finally enrolled Ramona in an activity after 3.5 years of life. I know, it’s hard to believe we’ve passed as middle class parents up to this point. Her class from school got a YMCA team together, so I figured she’d love to play with her friends. (There were more kids, but you know how that goes.)

Basically soccer at 3 is just a bunch of kids running after a ball while the parents scream coaching tips from the sidelines at them. One parents (on the other team of course) yelled, “Protect this house.” I can’t make this stuff up.

Ramona was most interested in running and giggling for all 3 practices and 2 games. The last game they used her ball, so she was all about actually playing the game. She was so serious about it she even took the ball away from her teammates.

Ramona scored 3 goals which is an accomplishment even if they don’t have goalies at this level. Her main defensive strategy was to yell “stop it” to the other kids. Genius.

Here’s her post goal modeling pose. I don’t know where she came up with it. I guess I need to cut down on her fashion blog intake. She’s really taken to their poses.

Clearly she was most interested in the cupcake and capri sun afterwards. She got a cute little trophy I paid a whole $7 for that broke later that night when she was experimenting with what happens when you drop said trophy on the floor. There were tears and a very pouty lip while I was somewhat relieved that I didn’t have to hoard the trophy for years to come.

      Haha thanks! She knows it which means we are all in big trouble. Don’t worry her “husband” plays on her team, so no one messes with her. That’s a story for another day!
