The Purple Dragons!

Annika had her first soccer game of the season last night, and, well, let's just say the Purple Dragons had fun! The other team consisted of some very large 5 year olds where Annika's team consisted of several small 4 year olds. They creamed us. But, as I said, our little people had a blast! Annika started the evening by bursting into tears when a boy from the other team stole the ball and blew past her. I thought it was the end of any hope to get Annika back on the soccer field. However, with a lot of pep talks and one very patient coach, our little lady played the entire second half...with a smile on her face!! Hooray.
