Ceej's Soccer - the complete 180

has anyone seen CJ?

so after her choosing to play soccer, me coaching her soccer,

and her sitting there picking her nails during soccer...

we took fall off.  JD was out so we thought we'd take a break.

it was up to them to decide if they were really into it.

Ceej chose to play.  i told her she'd owe me $40 if she picked her nose the whole season.

then the time came.

no complaints about the cleats (she's a picky picky shoe girl)

no complaints about the shin guards (she's a picky picky sock girl)

no complaints about going to practice, or even me leaving her there (she's a mommy's girl)

1st game of the season...

this is CJ nearly the entire time:

she chased that ball like i've never seen

she was all over the field

she's got a great kick

i absolutely LOVED watching her last night.  i just want to see her out there doing her best.

wow. i couldn't be more proud.

what a gal!  she's super excited to play again tomorrow!

she was even talking to me about positions tonight... who'da thunk it?

so tonight at JD's game, i sat by Ceej's coach.  she said, "man, that's chloe's great! you've done a good job with her, she's amazing!"  i seriously questioned her and reminded her i was Chloe's mom... not some other girl... she was seriously impressed with what a go-getter she was and said i should be proud of how hard she's working out on the field.

boy, oh boy, my justin bieber-haircut girl is amazing!  i love her!

(and her coach said she's the only girl that can pull off that cut)
