10.5.21 Update School and Sports!

I want to make a quick update on what has been going on with 4th grade, Sockers, and Signature.... and Girl Scouts. Two math tests and an A+ on BOTH. You tried to trick me that you got one wrong.... and you got me both times. We have talked about you checking your answers twice by putting a check mark next to them once you have done this, I think it is a great strategy. I have told Danica to do the same, we will see if she produces the same results. School is really going well, mask and all. I am very proud of you. Your current book selections have been about gymnastics and soccer so I guess that is par for the course. You do a great job doing your hair each morning, but we really need to keep brushing our teeth and taking care of our pitties and face. We are a changing and we need to take the necessary steps to stay clean everywhere and looking our best. When you feel good you look good and vice versa and then you do your BEST! Sockers is going SOOOO well. 1 goal in the first game with the club on a PK, a hat trick, 1 goal 1 assist, 2 goals 1 assist this past weekend and did I mention before league play is against boys, so even better. I told you to keep a soccer journal to track this... otherwise you will have to go off Mom's memory. I think in the spring you led the house soccer league with 14 total goals....15 if we include the penalty kick in the championship when the game went to PK's. Sunday you wore the captain band so that was really exciting! Afterthe game Coach Ivan asked, "Did you get your soccer skills from Mom or Dad?" You said, "Mom." During the game he asked, "Who is your coach?" and you replied, him-- then he asked, " who do you listen to, me or your mom?" you replied, " My Mom." Oh how I love you. In real life that means Mommy has to go upstairs or learn to zip it while you play. I can coach you when we are home. OK I promise to try my best to zip it! I only want the best for you and being a coach my whole life sometimes it is hard to shut that off, but it is better I learn to now, or I am going to end up coaching again. LET'S GO 21! Well, you are a level 5 gymnast and your first meet is weeks away. OMG! weeks away. You came home for the first time after practice the other day and you said it was "not good." Coach Matt had a clipboard and was "watching you" and it threw you for a complete loop. It made you so nervous. I had to explain that he is always watching you and always coming up with scores in his head with or without his clipboard. That is his job. I then said why don't you picture everyone in their underwear when you get nervous. You did this at the next practice, and guess what, you told me it WORKS!!! You did such a better job and they even had your perform a routine in front of the club. I feel your first medals of a long line of them are on the horizon! I am so excited for you no matter how you do. I PROMISE Dad and I, Danica, and AJ will always be your biggest fans. CHAMPION CHARLI CHAMPION CHARLI... To Be Continued....
