Amelia is SOOOOO excited that she is old enough to start soccer just like her big brothers. Since it is winter we are doing indoor soccer. She got shin guards, a ball, and shoes for Christmas and immediately (and very seriously) informed me that "I'd better call Leah and Hailey (neighbors of ours) right now so they can help me learn drills."
This is the outfit she picked out for her second practice. Super cute. I was surprised by the tutu since she is pretty hard core on what constitutes appropriate soccer shorts. Her reasoning was "Look Mom, they have bloomers. You can wear bloomers for soccer."At practice she is very intent. While the other kids all run around playing chase, wandering back to their parents, or repeatedly announcing that they are Scooby Doo, Amelia is trapping, kicking, and dribbling. Last night as we headed to practice she said excitedly, "I can't believe I am in indoor soccoh!" (I love the sound of her funny r's). Then very seriously she added, "I am going to be a champion."

When you zoom in you can actually see the eye of the tiger and the fire in her belly. I pity her competition who will have nightmares from the horror of this fast moving locomotive running over them and the sound of TU TU ringing in their ears.
Warning: TU TU aint no fu fu and ya better watch what ya do do. OUT!
