Roll Tide!  These two girls have the spirit!  Yesterday was the Friday before the season opener and Giulianna wore her cheerleading uniform to school. When I dropped her off I was very surprised to find that she had several classmates in Auburn cheerleading attire.  Like 3 little girls.  In Tuscaloosa, that is just unheard of!  So after school I ask her if there were some other girls who had on different uniforms and she replied yes, there were some girls with blue uniforms.  That part was completely acceptable, but what folllowed was absolute blasphemy!  Being that BLUE is her favorite color she started in on how much she liked these blue uniforms.  I then explained to her that those uniforms were Auburn uniforms and that like Alabama is a school for big girls, Auburn is also a school in our great state of Alabama.   I then told her that she had to repeat after me "Boo Blue! Boo Blue! Boo Blue!"  In my best cheer chant!  She thought that was hilarious and then said "Bluesy is Cutie! Bluesy is Cutie!"  To which I replied with the mature "Blue is Stinky!"  Which she thought was even funnier.  This was a fun exchange on our way home.  But I think I eventually wore her down, because as she was getting out of the car

she said "I like Red."

Soccer Super Star

I am so excited that Giulianna is playing her first season of soccer this year!  We started practices last week and she is already into it whole heartedly.  I knew that she would be full throttle into soccer she has been saying it was her favorite thing to do for about a year now, even though she had never graced a field.  I am starting to feel like a soccer mom with the twice a week practices and our zebra print bag for all her "gear".   It's going to be fun season even if they don't keep score and the players are probably all going in the wrong direction.  Let the Games Begin!
