Last week, I was talking with my 6 year old about moving.\u00a0 We daydreamed about her room and how we would decorate it.\u00a0 As a mother of 4 boys, I dreamed of pink and girly.\u00a0 She had something else in mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, I\u2019m not a girly girl; I\u2019m a soccer girl.\u201d\u00a0 Spoken like the tough girl she is.\u00a0 My shy mouse changes completely when she ties on her shoes and steps onto the soccer field.\u00a0 The ball is hers and the other team needs to just step aside. A soccer girl.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s gotten so big this year.\u00a0 She\u2019s gone from still having a baby belly to being lean and athletic.\u00a0 She raises an eyebrow at fluffy skirts, and demands a bit of funk and sequin to go with her pink.\u00a0 I can live with the funk.<\/p>\n

Her father and I were just talking about how big she is getting to be when we found her curled up and sleeping on the couch.\u00a0 Sucking her thumb and playing with her belly button just as she did when she was too small to chase that soccer ball down the field.<\/p>\n

She may be tough, but she\u2019s still my baby.<\/p>\n
