Claire and Soccer

So Claire played soccer a few years ago, and basically hated it.  I didn't have her do it last year, but I decided that she needed the exercise, and it would be good for her.  She got on a team with her friend Cosette, so she was very excited at least for a few weeks.  The happiness ended after a few games, especially since she got tired of just chasing everyone around.  Envision the soccer ball, and a bunch of players around it, then envision Claire about 2 feet behind them, scared to death of getting kicked.  I tried to explain to her that is what her shin guards were for, but she didn't care.  So basically she did get some exercise, but we won't be making a career in soccer.  You should of seen her face when she heard that after what I thought was her last game wasn't (they had a tournament scheduled which I wasn't aware of).  She decided not to play which was her choice.  I figured that she needed to have that power.  Let's just say that my little girl would much rather be a dancer than a soccer player.
Yes she is posing.  She is supposed to be playing and paying attention.
 Isaac, Owen, Cosette and Claire.  The soccer buddies.
