She Made It!

Emma earned her soccer medal! It was a tough season, but she did it. About the third or fourth game in, she decided she wasn't so keen on the cleats and the shin guards and didn't want to play anymore, but they know that what they start, they have to finish. There was one game where she refused to play, so just sat on the sidelines, but she was there (she didn't get the team snack after that game because she didn't play on the field--I'm so mean!). When we left the field that night, I told her that if she didn't get out on the field and play, she wouldn't get her medal. Since then, she has gone full steam ahead for that medal, and tonight was the big night. She was so excited and proud (as you can see from the picture). Way to go, Emma! Do you think she'll be so gung ho about playing next year???--maybe if there is a medal involved!!!
