Sweet baby Cassie otherwise known as my "BabyWaby"...
You are learning all about teamwork on your first soccer team.
I love the way you run with your arms flailing barely able to control your ever growing toddler body.
It's crazy that in 3 short months you will be a 4 year old.
Look at you putting your hand in the pile...preparing to yell "GreenMachine"
I looooove the green machine. What an awesome coach adn teammates you have!
I could hardly believe how you tumbled and got right back up with hesitation and back in the game. No tears on your tough girl face. I'm sure your soccer mentor Grace had a lot to do with that!
I hope you will ALWAYS carry this same strength with you every single day of your preciou life girlfriend. You are ahhhhhhmazing!
I love our tradition before soccer games (which is also a reminder of what parts of your body to use...no hands heheheh) "head shoulders knees and toes knees and toes"
It's so funny that we spent the longest time choosing a "soccer name" for you. We agreed on "NOLA"...short for the granola bars (which you call nola bars) you always request. Only to be advised before you went out on the field, "can you just call me Cassangwa and say yaaaaay Cassie?" Shakes my head. What to do with you miss bossy pants. You are still my little soccer Nola and I hope the name follows you all the way through your highschool sports and College or Professional sports if you choose to go that far.
Cheers to being in the present while also dreamin'
I love our little family and the little sports slice of our pie :)
*Although sports teams are all about your child and the bond between teammates and coaches it is still cool and possibly important to add a tiny sliver of family connection to the picture as well. You can choose a sports name, share a tradition like our good luck song, and show support by attending the games with loved ones to cheer them on, high five, and wipe tears too.
Do as momma says, Do as momma does
