Mia started soccer last weekend and let's just say it was an interesting start to the soccer season!! She was not happy to be playing soccer, didn't quite know what she was supposed to be doing & therefore ended up having a terrible attitude on the field, followed by lots of whining and crying. UGH!!!! She left in tears, sad & discouraged. Let's just say that mommy & daddy were sad & discouraged as well!!!
Soccer, take 2: We talked a lot the next week about effort, trying hard, having a good attitude, etc. Trying to get her prepped for the next game. By the end of the week, she was excited for soccer and kept reminding us that she could do anything she put her mind to! At least she was listening to us!!
Well, it worked & the 2nd game was a totally different experience - thank god!! Mia got into the drills & scrimmage and even ended up scoring the most goals - 3!!! She ended up having a great time and was so proud of herself, as were we! Let's hope she keeps it up!!
The "new & improved" Mia - ready for soccer!!!!!
