Lexism and Soccer

Lexism

Stefan came by some free Brave tickets for Saturday's game. Unfortunately I have too much schoolwork to do to be able to break away for that much time, but also we couldn't find a sitter. We tried to regift the tickets without any luck. Everyone already had plans of their own. Feeling guilty that the tickets were about to go to waste, Stefan asked if I would mind if he took Lexi to the game. Of course I didn't mind! It would give me some quiet time to get my work done, so off they went.

When they were sitting in their seats, apparently a tall gentleman sat in front of Lexi. Lexi said (in a not-so-quiet voice), "Daddy, I can't see. That man's head is too big!" The guy then moved to a seat behind Stefan and Lexi.

Soccer

Yesterday was also Lexi's first soccer game. She plays with 4 and 5 year olds (although two of them will be 6 next month) and it is too cute. They chase the ball like they are bees and the ball is their honey. At one point Lexi took a hit to the eye and she got pretty upset. She cried uncontrollably but we were finally able to get her back out there. The first time Lexi kicked the ball, she looked to Stefan and said, "Daddy, did you see that?" I think there were only two times her body made any contact with the ball the entire game, but it was cute and worth watching.

Here's a picture of her during warm ups.


And here's a picture of Abby cheering Sissy on...okay she was in it for the juice.
