Soccer Star

So Miller started soccer a few weeks ago, and it is hilarious! She is on a little baby team with 3-5 year olds. Miller is the youngest and the tiniest on the team. Her sweet coach took one look at her and said she was going to be his "secret weapon." That't not really working out for him since baby girl hasn't so much as kicked the ball yet  in a game. She basically stands there and looks around and, if we're lucky, she will kind of run in the direction of the pack of kids huddled  around the ball.Another blogger referred to baby soccer as "magnet ball." That definitely describes it.

This week, Miller ran off the field two or three times mid-game to hug her mommy. Sweet baby!  She also thinks she scored since she kicked the ball into the net during the pre-game warm up. We'll just go with that.

While I think that Miller is probably better suited to cheerleading than soccer at this point (she says her favorite parts are watching the other kids play and saying "Go Scorpions!"), she certainly looks cute in her little uniform. And that's what it's really all about anyway, right?

 The pink socks and pigtails make her look pretty fierce, right?

She's actually running in this one!

Posing for her official soccer pictures. Bless that poor photographer.  It took about a thousand tries, because Miller couldn't balance her foot on the ball and kept falling. Ha ha ha.
