not so happy anymore

"Team Cheetah" had their first game Saturday morning. Alexandria was so excited to play! The day before we painted her nails like soccer balls (white with black polka dots) and I made a "soccer bow" for her hair. She had an audience cheering for her (Auntie Alise, Gaga, Uncle Joey, Mark, Trace, Nicole, Daddy, Mommy & Clayson). Trace was the volunteer referee. The team practice for about 20 mintues. During the practice I caught Alexandria drifting off and staring at her nails. What a girly girl! Then it was time to play the "game." She really was excited until it was time to play...of course! Once the game began and she noticed how rough the boys were she just stood at one end of the field and wouldn't move. She was happy once she had to sit out and wouldn't go back in. She even said she didn't like soccer and wanted to give the "team shirt" back. Once the game was over, it was picture time. She snapped out of her "mood" and was perky and excited to take pictures. On the way home she decided she likes soccer, but wants to be the goalie next week. So...we'll see how it goes next Saturday?!?!
