Miranda in Soccer Woddlers 2017

Miranda started soccer last Saturday and she's pretty freaked out by the whole thing. She's pretty good at controlling and kicking the ball, and even following the coach's directions, but she's freaked out by the idea of being separated from either of us in a new environment. It might be that she's a year younger than James was when he started soccer, but I worry that it's just a difference in personality and that she'll be more anxious when she starts school too.

These pictures tell the alternate facts story of a girl who played soccer games for 40 minutes instead of the true account of a girl who cried several times and asked, "Now can we go home?" over and over again. Today's second practice went the same way.
