Alison's First Soccer Practice!

Alison started soccer practice tonight!  She'd been taking swim lessons for over a year, but decided she'd had enough of that - "I don't like them telling me what do" was a common theme of why she didn't care for swim anymore.  Anyway, she decided she'd like to start playing soccer, and about a month ago Ashley signed her up at an indoor soccer facility here in town.  She's part of the preschool program they have. 

She waited "patiently" for soccer to start and today was the day.  She asked if she could skip daycare and pre-K today so she could just go to soccer in the morning, but we had to tell her that wasn't how it worked.  Here's a "short" video from tonight.  It's a lot of her running around either with a ball or in a big circle.  I'm not sure always knew what she was supposed to be doing, but she had a lot of fun just running in open spaces.  It's one of her favorite activities.  As an added bonus, our good friends had their son Dylan in the same time slot as well.
