Her Feet were Firmly Planted

Saturday was Addie's very first ever in her whole life soccer game.  It started off reeeeaaal slow, meaning she sat out the first quarter.  I had to keep reminding her to watch the game so that when it was her turn she would have a clue what to do on the field, but she was more interested in playing with her teammate who was also sitting out first quarter - coincidence?
So now it's game time.  Addie was a little winded from the whole "sitting and watching".
Stretch time, you don't want sore muscles from all that work standing.
Just wait for the ball to come to you, Addie.  Pretend you are playing softball and that invisible spot you are not moving from is you base that you are protecting. (Like she knows softball.)
"Hey, are you going to the pizza party after the game?"
"So what is your favorite pizza?"
"Oh, I am supposed to run after the ball? Game On!"
Run Forrest, Run!
Addie's new motto: All Day I Dream About Soccer 
(mark my words, that will be famous one day)
She might even be a soccer star!  
3 kicks in one game. that beats Elli's total season number of gametime kicks by 3. (And I say again, good thing she's smart!)

I think the most important thing is that her glasses coordinate w/her uniform. Sounds like someone I know?? (H.S. Cheer Uniform?)We like to call her position, "on field reporter" always around the action, hardly ever in it! Cousin Maddy coined that position! We love you Addie!
