This is the question that I often ask with you, Kylie. I love, love, love your spirit, but it can be so strong sometimes! You rarely go with the flow and things often have to be done your way. We have started soccer practice and like everything else, we are in for a battle. Probably part of the problem is that I can be too serious and I expect a lot. Plus we are probably very similar in our stubborness which causes us to bump heads! It started with introductions. Everyone was going around telling their name and you wanted me to tell them. You are not shy but I complied. Then you threw yourself on the ground a few times when they were practicing different moves. If I looked around though, I'd realize it was better than the kid running off or the other one crying the entire time! I need to learn to count my blessings more. The rest of practice looked more like a negotiation with me trying to entice you into the practicing of moves and the game they were playing. You wanted no part of anyone trying to take your ball and whined we they did. However, you made no attempt to even try to defend your ball. When the coach picked you to go around and take balls from other kids you jumped to your feet! I was amazed to watch you in action as you suddenly used all the moves that the other kids had been practicing when you were laying on the ground! You must learn when no one thinks you are listening, which is a good reminder for me to stay on my toes, because you are always learning. I love you and we will make it through soccer practice together! I will learn to count my blessings and maybe you will learn to listen to your coach more.
