First Soccer Game

Today was Macy's first soccer game. She was so excited to put on her soccer uniform. We got there and waited and waited for the other team to show up...but they never did. The times has been changed later in the week and they may have just not gotten the information. So, the coach used this time to really practice the game. There were a couple of girls from another team who were there for a game who decided to come over and play for a little while.

About half way through the game/practice, Macy just lost it. She started crying and didn't stop until the end of the game. She kept saying, "I don't want to play," "I need water," "They took the ball from me," "I'm tired." We really started to wonder if we had done a bad thing by signing her up. But, we are not going to let her quit. Brian ended up having to go out there with her for about fifteen minutes and run the field with her.

At one point in the game, one of her other teammates/friends got upset because the ball was stolen from her and she sat down in the middle of the field and crossed her arms. She was very upset. Well, Macy (really feeling the same way) walked over and sat right down beside her and crossed her arms as well. They had a little "pitty party" all to themselves.
