Ranae made the soccer team and is loving it.
In case you were wondering,
she tries out for every sport offered at school.
Willingly.
With gusto.
And with every ounce of energy left on the field.

I can still remember her first wanting to try soccer
when she was in the second grade.
After several years of ballet she wanted to try something new.
We thought soccer would be a good fit.
This is the girl whose preschool teacher told me,
"She sure gets her monies worth at recess.
She just never stops running!"

So, the first day on the soccer field Ranae was shocked.
She came up to me and said incredulously,
"Mom, these kids are bumping into each other ON PURPOSE!"
I looked at her and said,
"Ranae, we're not in ballet any more.
Get back out there and play.
It's okay if you bump into people now and then."
