Go get 'em!

Last night was Delaneys 1st soccer practice.  She was a little shy since it was a new team and new friends but she had fun all the same. 
They even played a scrimmage which she loves.

We were driving home and she complained how the 'other team' would not share the ball and how was she going to get a goal if they would not share.  So I told her what any good competitive soccer mom would say.......

"Here is what you do Delaney.  Pretend that ball is yours.  Only yours.  And that team took it away. You want it back.  NOW!  You attack them!  You get that ball.  Kick it.  Push it from under their feet.  Trip them getting it!  But get it!  IT IS YOUR BALL!  And do not stop till you get that ball safe in your goal where they cannot touch it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Then mommy will take you for ice cream!"

Hey a mom has to do what a mom has to do!  If that means pulling out the ice cream deal....then so be it. 

And a few just for fun!
