Isabelle had a great Spring soccer season. She played on the same Rush soccer team as Fall season and really seems to grow and thrive under Coach Chris. He is the perfect balance of tough and serious mixed with fun and silly and his coaching really seems to click with Belle. (He calls her Izzy which is always funny to hear.) This season she moved from her usual defensive position, which she prefers, to a great offensive player as well. She learned to love playing forward and scored goals in multiple games. She even managed two goals in a single game one Saturday. She loved going to both her team and professional practice each week and most of the time Ben drove carpool for her and BFF Abby which made it even more fun for the girls and by default made Ben an assistant coach. Olivia has gotten to know the little siblings of Belle's teammates and spent a good portion of her time playing in the dirt and eating snacks with friends. She asked us several times when her season was going to start again, but Ben and I just couldn't bring ourselves to face another round of 3 year old soccer. (We will revisit soccer for Olivia in the future.) As luck would have it, this Spring was cooler than normal and the games were quite lovely for the most part. We love watching Isabelle learn and grow and her passion for sports continues to burn. Undefeated two years in a row...no wonder they call themselves The Dream Team.
