Then this week has been insane! For many reasons, not the least of being which have started my new 'career' as a soccer mum. Literally. Erin decided to play soccer this year and only do once dance class. And I know I have mentioned it before, but my daughter rocks (well clearly all three of them do, but this instance particularly Erin).
So it is her Erin's day of training and it is her first time playing soccer this year. Found out there turns out she is the only girl and the only new person today although they did say they are expecting some new boys next week. She was a bit nervous to start with, but there was an older sister watching who saw Erin was new and took her and introduced her to the boys. This girl totally made my day by the way.
Erin holds her own all session and they were worked hard. Sit-ups, running, squats, push ups (Erin asked if she could do push ups girl style. This was refused but you can't blame a girl for trying!). Her hair is quite long and she had it in a pony-tail turned into a bun. It must have been a bit loose, because she fixed her hair back into a bun twice mid practice game (including pausing to take a kick and to call out).You just have to love it! I could hear the boys already call her name for passes and stuff. At the end I asked her if she was ok being the only girl she just shrugged and said it doesn't matter as long as she isn't ever on 'skins'. I wish I had even a fraction of her confidence and poise!
Just for the record. Erin is still all girl. Her happy moment of the day was when we found a mouth guard that matched her team colours!
On a random side note, Aimee has taken offence to the fact I call Erin 'Erin-my-Erin'. I have always called her that and it is her name just for her! Aimee's request to be called 'Aimee-my-Aimee' was firmly denied. She is 'Aimee-fuzz' or 'Aimee-baby' and that is that. Erin needs some stuff that is just for her and Aimee most definitely does not need anymore encouragement to make everything about her!
