Hazel - Preschool and Soccer

Hazel completed her one and only year of preschool at Alphabet Academy with Mrs. Beech!  She didn't complain once about going and learned a lot this year.  I think she's ready for Kindergarten!

The class sang a few of their school songs for us, we watched a slideshow of pictures from the year, and they gave the moms some flowers in a hand painted jar.

I think Hazel knows me pretty well...  You know me, escaping to the library as often as possible!

Hazel has been asking and asking to play soccer, so I finally signed her up to be on an indoor team for the summer.  It's a co-ed team made up mostly of kids who are going to Tibbals Elementary with her this fall.  I had no idea what to expect from her since she hasn't ever played before, but James and I were really surprised.  The girl has competitive spirit!  She sprints after the ball constantly, plays good defense, and even stands at the goal as the self-proclaimed goalie occasionally.  On the sidelines, she's still into the game and talking to her teammates.  It's pretty fun to watch your kid play something they enjoy.

We also got Hazel a real bike, and she took off riding solo after only a few tries!  Our little girl is growing up!
