Taking Sides August 3, 2010, at 10:33 pm | In an effort to convince the girls to play more soccer (and to convince Jim that soccer is a worthwhile sport despite his objections that it is a low-scoring, frequently-tied, feet-only game), Gabe got the girls their very own soccer net for their birthday.
Susie’s not quite sure whether to side with Gabe or her Dad when it comes to soccer. She likes the net, but so far the only thing she’s put into the goal is herself.
And a purse. And a rock. And a rubber ducky.
I fear Susie may grow up to be one of those girls who will be more focused on whether her ponytail holder matches her jersey than whether it’s her turn to kick the ball. Her Dad will be so proud!

ABOUT US I'm blessed to be saved by the grace of God, loved by my wonderful husband Jim, and embraced by my twin girls, Rebecca Faith and Susanna Joy and my sons Jimmy and Danny. I started this blog in May 2008 when I was hospitalized for pre-term labor at 24 weeks gestation. The Lord allowed me to keep the girls inside until they were 34 weeks along, and on July 27th, Rebecca made her debut, followed by Susanna, five minutes later, on July 28th. We ecstatically welcomed Jimmy into our lives on April 25th, 2011, and Danny on August 31, 2012. This blog has been a personal journal of faith and motherhood and the only way I can remember which child did what and when. Thanks for stopping by to share in my Faith and Joy! Feel free to e-mail me at: [email protected]. |
Why can’t she have her ponytail holder match her jersey and still kick the ball into the opponant’s goal?
This IS the 21st century. Women can do anything they wish. We all should be proud of that!
