GOAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

This past Saturday, Charlotte finally scored her first goal in a soccer game. She has really WANTED IT for so long now, and this weekend, she stepped up to the plate, took charge, and
SCORED!

I was the annoying, screaming, soccer mom. How could I help it?! She has worked so hard to get to where she is, playing hard and practicing hard... and truthfully, it warms my heart to see her doing something so physical with her asthma. I used to worry when she was a bit younger about how she would cope... how she would get on with being a "normal" kid... but she has pushed all that worry aside this year. She owns it. She is really confident in herself, in her abilities, and everything. She makes me so proud on a daily basis.

Congratulations Charlotte, my little soccer star!!!!
