So let's see here...school started and is half over now. Miranda is really enjoying 5th grade and learning a lot about people, teachers, and friends. She is such a determined kid do right and be a great student. Everyday we drive in and out of Cedar Park which is about 20 minutes away to take her to school. Social Studies and Science are her least favorite subjects. She enjoys Reading and Math a whole lot more but recess is her favorite. That's a given, right? That along with lunch.
This is Miranda's 9th season playing soccer. She's a very fast right wing forward. My proudest moment this season was sitting on the sideline opposite of her during a game. I watched as she blazed down line dribbling the ball and counted how many girls she passed. Thought to myself 'Is anyone going to catch her?' Her nickname is 'speedy'...funny her coach's last name is Gonzalez (hehe)! She's got the pull move down and Shawn has been encouraging her to add a new move into her game plan. Well just this week while walking through a practice, I got to see her new move. She's again blazing down the line while a team mate in front of her pretending like they are the opposing team. She pulls out this zigzag move. Her coach is beaming in aw...'did you see that?' 'that's what I'm talking about' As we all know she likes to be in the spotlight...oh our little red making us proud again and again.
