Kynadi-excited for her first game
Well we signed Kynadi up for soccer this year and it was lots of fun. It is definitely not a long season...only about 6 weeks. She was so excited before hand and constantly asked when she got to start. I thought this enthusiasm was cute, considering she really had no idea what soccer was other than a game with a ball. When it came right down to it though, she was a bit hesitant. The first practice revealed what the entire season was like. She loved being on the team, but was nervous about kicking the ball when there was a swarm of other kids around. She much preferred to just run and let the others fight for possession. One practice I could tell she was overcoming her fears and was going after the ball a little bit. But then, this boy who I'll refer to as "the giant" came and kicked the ball right as Kynadi was trying to. He brought Kynadi's feet out from under her and she took a massive face plant to the floor. Poor kid! Needless to say, she didn't go after the ball much after that.

During the games she was so funny to watch. Half the time she didn't even watch the ball. She was always playing with her hair (I think this was because she was a bit nervous), and when she was the goalie she'd rather hang on the bar than pay attention to the game.
A little video of her following the pack, but a bit afraid to get too close.
Paying lots of attention to the game, but not making a move! :)
