I have to brag, and let everyone know that Cebastian placed second in his first Track and Field meet.  He probably would have placed first if he hadn’t started crying cause he thought he had lost.  The reason is that he was running wiht all the older kids, so he didn’t realize that for his age group, he had won.  When the coach sent me the results, I was shocked.  I was already proud of him because he had finished, and now I am flabbergasted that he actually one.

I am also proud of Isabelle.  She didn’t want anything to do with Soccer after the first couple of times.  However, the last game, she got up there and scored four goals.  It was impressive.  I practiced with her while Cebastian practiced his running, but I thought that was as far as she would take it.  I was pleasantly wrong.

Never give up on your kids. Even if they win or lose, you should always be proud of them. My parents never showed me that, so I want to make sure that I do that for them.

My daughter has refused to play soccer.  You can read all about it in my “Taking Them to Practices But…” blog entry.  I was ready to give up, but my ex told me to keep with it.  This is the first time in a long time that I am glad that I agreed with him.  We went to take soccer pictures, and she wanted nothing to do with it.  She took the pictures, and then clung to me. 

At the soccer field, she wouldn’t play until I went out there with her.  Of course, I didn’t kick the ball or anything, but I was encouraging her.  She said she was tired and sat down.  All of a sudden, a miracle happened!  She asked the coach if she could play, and she went out there on her own.  In 10 minutes, Isabelle had already scored four goals.  Of course, being the paparazzi of the family, I took like 20 pictures of the grand event.  I am so proud of her.

Tomorrow it’s Cebastian first meet, and I am also super excited for that.  I love having children.  They bring me so much happiness.
