Today's soccer match was quite eventful for us! Not long after it started, I was helping Bitty get settled with his snack when suddenly I heard this “smack!”, than a sharp intake of breath and then silence. The woman next to me elbowed me and said “that’s your kid!” I looked up and there was Beanie, rubbing her forehead. All the girls were standing still, looking at her, and the ball was rolling away. Then she shrugged and started running after the ball. It was classic Beanie, fearless and invincible!
Later on in the match, Pookie was in the right place at the right time. She had just arrived near the goal when one of her teammates passed the ball her way. She thought fast, stopped the ball and kicked it in for her first ever goal. Yea!!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of futbol. Jamila's soccer season just ended with a tournament game out in Leesburg. This is the final season for this team. Jamila and some of the other girls have been playing together off and on since they five or six years old. As teenagers they've begun to drift away to other interests, other sports, local public and private school soccer teams, boys, etc. They had poor turn out and therefore few or no subs all season. They had to forfeit today's game because they didn't have enough girls present at the start time. They ended up playing a friendly scrimmage which ended in a 1-1 tie. Jamila isn't sure whether she'll try out for the highschool team next year and trithfully, I'm not sure she wants to work that hard at soccer. (Unlike Chelsa, who was driven to play)
The big soccer news for us is that Theo has begun practing with the low intensity "therapuetic recreation" team.
