Emily enjoys playing soccer with her friends on the playground. I was skeptical that she was doing anything but randomly booting the ball or maybe cheering a little from the sidelines, but when we actually played in the back yard, she wasn’t bad! So when she said she wanted to do a soccer camp this summer, I said okay. She’s signed up for “Soccer FUNdamentals” next week.
They required us to get shinguards, so we stopped by a sporting goods store to get some. Then we realized we needed long socks to go over the shinguards. And probably shoes would be a good idea. Anyway, one thing led to another, and now we’ve got a little Mia Hamm running around the house, dressed in all the pink clothes she picked out.
By the way, she now wears size 6 1/2 girls shoes, which apparently translates to size 8 women’s. She can now share footwear with my mother. Thanks a lot, bigfooted husband.
Here’s our budding soccer star. If she enjoys it, maybe she can play for my alma mater UNC one day! Lady Heels! Woo!

My girl has giant feet too, her aunt swapped a pair of shoes with her.

She is so cute!
And really, 6 1/2 in girls is 8 in womens? Hmm.. I think I wear an 8. I’ll have to take a peek at the kid’s shoes next time I buy some, because the kids shoes are always so much cuter!

That’s what the shoe guy said. I wear an 8 1/2 or 9 and put my foot up to hers. They were pretty close. Of course we were both wearing shoes and one of us was wiggling a lot.

Look how pretty she is!! I love the way she carries off athletic and girly at the same time!

I held my feet up to hers tonight, sole to sole. She’s almost got me.
