Myann's First and 2nd to last soccer game

Myann insisted all summer she wanted to play soccer. Of course she also wanted to do dance and gymnastics and swimming. We did swimming for a few months and decided to try dance. Aunt Sunny insisted we put her in something "with a ball". I for the record totally agreed and was optimistic because as uncoordinated as Myann can be, she is pretty athletic. The first practice, did not go well. She would only participate if I was holding her hand. I told her I could not hold her hand during the game, but she insisted.
Game Day - she looks pretty cute and ready to go. But the moment coach asked her to play, she said no and hid behind me. This went on the whole game. One mom even tried to coax her on the field and Myann gave her the stink eye and said, "Don't talk to me." That was our cue to leave.





Update: Aunt Sunny took her the following weekend to practice, of which she would only play with Sunny, and then during the game, she did step foot on the field, but then would not play. Week 3 and she begged me not to go to the game. We asked her again on week 4 and she still said she would not play. So, Myann is done with soccer for this year.
