lost tooth and a GOOOAAAALLLL!!!

Well I don't have any pictures this time but the title of this post has been used before. I don't know what the deal is with Maddy losing teeth and Josey scoring goals in the same weekend. Maddy has lost yet another tooth. I seriously don't know how she eats. She has another loose tooth as well. She has almost no teeth in the front, it is crazy! The tooth fairy is going broke! And Josey had a miraculous soccer game today. Next game I am going to bring my camera. I don't know what happened but something clicked for her a couple of weeks ago when she scored that first goal. We missed last Saturdays game due to the primary program practice and so this was the next game for her. She scored THREE goals in the game! Dustin and I couldn't believe it. She was good! We were shocked! She was dribbling the ball in and out of the other players and taking it to the goal. She has always been very aggressive out there which is a plus in soccer but she finally got it that if she kept it close to her and followed it she could probably keep it. Seriously the other kids would almost just watch her kick it down the field and score goals! After every goal she would come and give me a high five and then ask if she could stop playing now. I kept saying just a few more minutes, see if you can do it again, and begrudgingly she would go back in and score another goal. When it was time to switch up the players it almost made me sad because it was so fun for Dustin and me to watch! It is funny how you never know which child of yours is going to succeed at certain things. Maddy thinks she is a soccer expert and is always telling Josey that she will coach her on how to do things, which is really cut to watch BUT Maddy was not very good at soccer. Dustin and I would joke that she would just orbit the ball and stay the same distance from it at all times. I think in the three seasons she played she touched the ball five times. It was fun for her and for us to watch still but it just wasn't her thing right now. Josey on the other hand just gets right in there and has no fear with the bigger boys (cause let's face it everyone is pretty much bigger than Josey) and takes that ball away. She just gets it apparently. Anyway she still doesn't want to play anymore so oh well! Maybe when she is older? It is wierd how our children come with these different talents and dispositions. Maddy has an inflated self esteem issue. She thinks that she is the best at every single thing in the world. Even things that she has never done before. She actually threatened some boys that were teasing Josey once with her karate skills. SHE HAS NO KARATE SKILLS! She was seriously offended when they laughed at her and she couldn't figure out why. She thought that she could take on this entire team of older hispanic boys soccer team once. She kept saying that she was better than them. The thing is she believes it! It is not just some trash talk or defense mechanism. She really believes it. Josey on the other hand is just proud of her golden hair as she calls it and is proud to be the littlest one in her class. She loves being little. Now she actually has something that she could legitimately be proud of with the soccer today and she didn't want to talk about it the rest of the day and refused to call anyone to tell them about it. I don't get it.
