Orange!...Rangers

Adda had her first soccer practice last night.  It was pretty amusing to watch all those babies running around chasing a ball.  You could definitely tell the difference between girls and boys!  The boys were running at full speed chasing their ball and the girls were moving at their own pace after their ball.  We have our first game on Saturday and I'm hoping Adda gets the concept of the game a little better by then.  She gets that you don't use your hands and you kick it in the goal but she is in NO hurry to do that.  Let's just say she wasn't sure what Gonzo was meant when he was talking about "hustling!"  Here are a few pictures from practice!  Ultimately it was fun to see her out there with other kiddos and with Abel her cousin, and she had fun!  When we asked her what her favorite part of practice was she said, "When Coach gave me my little bitty soccer water bottle!"  (It was one of those mini water bottles and she got to drink it "all by herself"!)

 Adda is so excited that her team color is orange.  We talked about that she prayed they would be orange!  I even prayed they would be orange because I knew that when we played the orange team she might be a little sad about that game!  The girl LOVES orange!  In fact one of the girls on her team was wearing orange socks and I saw Adda really getting a good look at her sock during one of the drills.  She was down on the ground touching them!
