Proud Soccer Mom



Go Mia! We may just have an athlete in our little family after all. Gerron got a little sick and tired of the dance concerts, piano recitals, and gymnastic events that we finally convinced Mia and Colby to sign up for soccer. Mia LOVES it. YAHOO! She is out there grinning the whole time- if someone takes the ball away she doesn't get frustrated she just runs after them to get it back grinning from ear to ear. She even scored a goal in the first game! She really is quick and can outrun most kids her age- seriously. So we are proud parents already. ;-) Ha ha- I love the soccer mom mentality that's kicking into full gear here. So Gerron coaches her team and Colby's. This is what Colby thinks of soccer...
He's number 7 and he's standing next to his cousin JJ! The sad thing is Colby isn't even 3 yet so really he shouldn't even be playing. (PLEASE don't report us to the Arizona Soccer Club!) It was George and Gerron's idea to have them on the same team and coach them together... so I believe the wrong year was put down for Colby's birthday... or something to that effect. (Is that right George!?!) Anyways, I'm trying not to feel like a horrible parent forcing my son into this. Really they have a blast at practice and playing but aren't ready for the whole competition level... Colby did get into it more last week- he scored a goal even- but would throw himself on the ground bawling if someone took the ball away. But... we're gearing up for a big game tomorrow- better get some sleep!
