I have to brag. Yes, this is a momma moment, if you don’t want to read it, go away.

Ian has been playing soccer since he was 4 years old–he’s 11 now. He loves the game and has the ability to be an awesome player–but sometimes he’s a lot like his momma; he does just enough to get by.

Not tonight. Tonight he kicked ass. Completely. He played hard on the field, made some great passes and steals…but then, his coach father put him in the goal. Now, I was nervous because lately he’s been shying away in the goal, but his daddy worked with him this weekend and felt like he was ready.

Boy was he ready! He made 4 phenomenonal plays! I have never been so proud. Not just cuz he played well, but because he played with heart. Even the opposing coach came over and commented on how hard he played.

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled program. The mom is finished bragging; for now.
