My
two oldest are only one year and two weeks apart. I signed the older one up for soccer but the
younger one was just a little too young to play. The soccer team named themselves “The
Sharks.” They had tiny cleats and
enormous soccer socks and basically ran around, made lots of noise and had a
great time.

The younger one was not happy. She has never been a sit back kind of girl and she was sure this was a horrible injustice. There was a big tree near the edge of the field with a y in the trunk. She would spend most of the time in the tree giving the players the death stare.

I
was talking to my mom about it and she suggested that I get the younger one a
uniform so she would feel a part of things. Great suggestion but the soccer
league was of the “take things very seriously” variety and uniforms were not to
be had. My mom found a little sport jersey
in the right colors. She sewed a fabric
shark and a label to the front and we had a soccer mascot. She wasn’t completely appeased and there was
an unfortunate incident with the soccer trophy but she spent less time in the
tree.

Oh I love her! That little face is so her at that age. It's just daring someone to disagree with her!
