Today was my 3 year old daughter’s second week of soccer. 3 year olds playing soccer is hilarious as it
is, but if you know my daughter at all, it's even more hilarious. For about 20 minutes, she did the little drills. She ran and galloped and trapped the ball, and even kicked it a few times! At that point she just lost interest. She walked to the sidelines and laid on the gym floor. She crawled and slid back and forth while the other 3 year olds ran in circles. After some time, and the coach asking if she'd like to come back out to play, she decided she was officially done. Then, about the coolest thing that could have happened, in her 3 year old opinion, happened. An ant crawled past her! For the next 15 or so minutes, she watched it, slid on her belly after it, and talked to it. Suddenly she jumped up and ran to her coach. "Are you ready to come play?!" her coach asked. "No… I FOUND AN ANT!" she shouted and ran back to her little insect friend. After the game was over she told me that she thinks soccer is amazing!
