Soccer?

I'm coming to terms with the fact that my daughter inherited only one thing from me, her dimple. I know her skin tone, her voice, her energy level, her love of animals, are not from my side of the gene pool. This weekend I think we've discovered another paternal trait...athleticism.
We were all pretty bowled over when she learned how to kick a ball. She literally wore out Grandpa Bill with all of her running around after that silly ball. She can actually kick it pretty well.
Since I'm not so sure I've actually ever kicked a soccer ball, and I know her dad doesn't play, I'm thinking it is an athletic inclination combined with a small part of my past manifesting itself almost fifteen years later. I've always been a sucker for a soccer player. And, now that I'm thinking about it, some of my very best friends are soccer players. So, while the skill itself probably didn't come from me, perhaps the affection for this particular sport did.
Anyhow, I thought these were pretty cute.
