Isabella, the soccer player!

Isabella has been playing soccer on Thursday nights. She is getting better each week. The first night she basically wouldn't leave my side. The second night, she wasn't much better. The 3rd time, we told her we'd go out for ice cream afterwards if she just ran on the field by herself. That really motivated her and now she's doing much better and actually seems to enjoy it. She rarely kicks the ball during the game, she just kind of runs around after everyone else. When she actually does kick the ball you can just tell how excited she is. She has really improved and we have really enjoyed our soccer nights.

Can't believe it was actually cold the first night


Next photo shows how Isabella likes to stand behind the crowd

This is a later week where she has actually warmed up a bit to being on the field. She's not usually that far behind the others...

Getting a little more into the action, but notice she's not really paying much attention to the ball


Seeing a lot more of these proud smiles now!

And a video of her at practice the last week
