After a summer of swimming lessons, I told Bethelle she could pick her next activity. Go back to ballet? More swimming? Soccer? Something else?
Bethelle quickly narrowed her choices to three: soccer, volleyball, or pick-up-sticks. We tried very hard to be supportive of any of the three, but there did not seem to be a local five year-old volleyball team and pick-up-sticks, well, I don't even know what to say about that.
And so a soccer star was born.
There were no positions. Just a mass of girls moving with the ball, mostly remembering which goal was theirs.Rigby could be seen at every game. What a great fan.
Bethelle scored the first goal of the season for her team. I think it may have been game three.
Here's to a patient coach and some determined little athletes. Well played!

I love you. and Kennedy loves Bethelle; we need them to be bff's. How's this going to work? Long distance relationships are just so hard):
I think you should start a pick up sticks league. It would catch on quickly :)
