Milestones

Eliza scored her first goal in soccer on Saturday! She got the ball and dribbled it about 5 times before shooting the goal. The ball got away from her for a sec but she stole it back and shot it in! I am pretty sure I annoyed the other parents from screaming and cheering so loud about that.

Yay! Today I made my very first goal in soccer and when I made the goal it got us tied with the other team.

The same day she played in her first piano competition and did great. She got stuck on part of a song and stayed so calm and got back on track that the judges complemented her on it.

Today, Sunday, she had her birthday party. It was a hit. All of the kids had fun. No tattle telling, no hurt feelings, and no injuries. They even ate the healthy apples and carrots. Eliza even did karaoke on her own and loved it. I even tried to join in on a Hannah Montana song with her and she pushed me away so she could be the rock star. Pretty awesome girl. Who knew organizing a party could be such work?

Yay! Today I celebrated my birthday. It's really tomorrow but we had to celebrate it today. I got some really cool presents. First of all, I got a My Twinn doll from my Grandma Claudia. I got 3 Webkinz, one was a monkey, one was a tree frog, and the other one was a dog. PS. I forgot what kind of dog it is. My real-mom helped us plant some seeds. Afterwards, my friend Hailey came over. Me and her colored on each other and then we took a bath to get it off.

Can you believe how grown up my girl is getting? 8 years old! She is old enough that we gave her her first perfume. It's exciting to watch but I am still so relieved that she still acts like a little girl sometimes. She cried because her friend's plant spilled and was worried that the seeds would be lost. Sometimes I am happy that she still needs my hugs.
