Last Saturday was Kaylee's first game of the season. Kaylee was a little worried about the team they were playing since they were all so tall but we learned quickly that height is not everything.
The first period Kaylee and the rest of the team played like they were a little bit distracted. It took a little while for them to get into the game. I do not know if it was the Christmas break or what but their reaction time to the ball was off.
After a little pep talk from the coach they seemed to all snap to it and the second period was much better. At all the pre-season games Kaylee would look for someone to pass the ball to and was very reluctant to make a shot. Today was totally different, she seemed to have more confidence in her abilities. I was so excited when she took her first shot and made it!! Then she went on to make another shot and made that one too. She did not look near as excited as I was for her. After the game I asked her why she did not look very excited and she said,"I was still in shock that I made it." I love my sweet girl! They ended up winning the game 16-2. Now I cannot wait till the next game to watch her improve each time and enjoy it so much. Lucky for me we have games every Saturday;-)
