Soccer -n- Jayden

Last week Jayden experienced her first organized sport...a soccer camp! Terri took her as it was on Tuesday, one of the "mimi days" and she loved being a part of a new experience. Jayden was a bit hesitant and although she met a new little friend, she still wanted her "mimi" not very far away. For her first time, she did pretty well and seemed to catch on with what they were teaching them. The group ranges from 3 - 8 year olds, so quite a difference in abilities! At the end of the first week, they all got a sticker and were sent home to practice for next week.

Today was the second session and it didn't go quite as well...Jayden seemed to be distracted by just about everything and quite often was sitting on her ball, with her back to the group... She did get the "jump" over the ball down pat, but wasn't as enthusiastic about it this week. At the end of the day, they all got a lollipop and whether or not they were stars or just observed, all left with a smile on their faces!

This lasts for 5 weeks, so three more to go...it's fun to watch and observe (okay, photograph, too!) and see a darling little one experience something new!
