Soccer Star . . . . sorta . . .

Although Ryan and I have made every effort to make Lucy LOVE soccer - it's just not happenin'. I mean we got the pink cleats, the pink ball, a cool Nike bag . . . Papa even got a practice soccer goal for our yard.
She is on the THUNDER, and has had a few practices and her first game. She cried through at least half of each. Mom and Dad became VERY frustrated at having the crybaby of the team. Although she still is a BABY, she's nowhere near shy when she sees a complete stranger in a resteraunt or at the grocery store. She doesn't even bother to introduce herself, she just starts right into her life story: "My daddy's in the army. My mommy has a big butt. You know what I got for my birthday? I got a music box. I go to Kids Team . . . . " But when it comes to going onto a field full of kids her age suddenly - she's shy. What's up with that? So even though she barely played she was still a darn cute little soccer player. She was totally content with not playing and just sitting on her ball on the sideline watching the others. We have practice again tonight, I'll let you know how it goes.

Why is it that when you don't want your kids to talk or move they break their neck to do so but when we want them to do something they become completely shy??!!?? Ugh. Loved all the new stories... Ryan's ceremony was awesome to see... I think I'll write into ARMY WIVES and see if they will let you make a guest appearance.
