Isabel's last game and Party!

Here is happy Isabel. Happy for many reasons. She was not that into soccer this year. We told her that she chose to play soccer so she must finish out the year and then decide what to do next year. I'm so glad it has come to an end. I feel bad about this but she was making me look like a really bad parent. I would say things like "Isabel, stop kicking air!" or "Stop playing with the dirt or picking the grass!". She would run the wrong way or twirl while looking at the sky. I just gave up because it was raising my blood pressure! I'm not saying all of this to put her down or to be mean. We have discussed this with her and it's just not her thing. She loves softball and is a wonderful dancer. She is a very talented girl but she has to be interested to do well. :) She is very easily bored.
We're very proud! Look at her standing there without a care in the world. If you can see the other two players are totally running in the opposite direction while Isabel is --- Oh honestly, I don't know what she is doing! We love her so much!!!
It was so funny when the coach was handing out the trophies. He was saying nice things about each player as he handed them out. When he got to Isabel he said "Now, who is the girl who counts every time she kicks the ball and one time yelled out that she kicked the ball 4 times?" Everyone shouts "Isabel!". Yep, that's right - totally bored!! She really likes her trophy though. We are really grateful for a very patient coach. He was really good with Isabel and always told her how good she was doing. The last game she did kick the ball 2 times!
