Ballerina soccer

Sometimes I just have to smile.

Last summer was the World Cup in South Africa, and of course I had to watch every game Brazil played until that horrible disaster against the Dutch. N. picked up a few phrases like "where's the goal?" and "ole, ole, ole, ole, Brazil, Brazil." We had fun.

But you see, she's a girly girl to her core and I never thought I'd be playing soccer with her. Then again, she's a toddler and soccer involves a whole lot of running.

So we've been "playing" in the house - really it's just running after the ball and tapping it with our feet. (I put an air mattress against the wall to minimize damage)



What you can't see in this first picture is that, true to herself, she plays soccer wearing ballet shoes. I can't help but smile.


What's made you smile lately? Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

    what a cute girl.. and ballet shoes are so much better than soccer shoes :)

    Yeah, you know I´m all for old aristocracy - love is SO secondary when it comes to breeding, haha! :-D

    Have a great day dear! :-)

    N is absolutely adorable! Imagine if all the soccer players were wearing ballet shoes while playing, they'd probably be more graceful while faking those dives! :)

    Now, isn't she adorable? Very, I say! If it's ok to ask, because I am fairly new to your blog, is she your daughter? Your surname sounds Japanese but I am not sure. (Do reply only if it's comfortable with yo.) Enjoy the weekend! -Mirage

    Oh yes and yum - watermelon and strawberries are what I live on during summer. So, so good! I ate so many strawberries when pregnant with my oldest that I actually suspected that he might come out strawberry red! :-D

    Blisters... yes, I´ve been there too... Awful how clueless we were, glad we can do better with our kids! :-)

    For goodness sake - here I am playing stalker again! :-D

    Yes - I do feel that they must grow and experience on their own, but oh my how hard it is when they actually do! Maybe it feels slightly easier the next time... I hope... His little brother was not to happy yesterday evening though, he missed him even with the luxuary to get our full attention. Sweet. :-)

    N. and my Monkey would get along so well! Both are girly girls! Monkey only wears dresses -even when running and she also likes to wear an armful of bracelets -even when running.
