Go Black Polka Dots!

Calista played soccer again this year, and she loved it.

When we signed her up, I told her I couldn't be her coach this year because of the baby - I was due 2 weeks before the end of the season!

So Kyler volunteered to be her coach instead. She loved that.

This year, her team was black. When Kyler asked the kids what was black, one yelled, "polka dots," and somehow that was the name that stuck. So we all cheered for the black polka dots.

While Kyler coached her, I mostly followed Craig around the field

and the playground.

 It was redone since last year, much to Craig's delight.

He loved Calista's soccer days.

...even if it doesn't look like it.

Calista improved in her skills, in addition to having fun.

And of course, ran around until she was exhausted.

Calista also had a much improved attitude from last year: no tantrums, and no tears unless she was hurt.

All smiles here!

Way to go, Black Polka Dots!
