Foto Friday...Cereal Killing Soccer Star

I love just about every picture that my girls take.  I love the angry faces, the happy faces, the silly faces, and even the shots where you can't see their faces because they refuse to pose.  This month, we had two amazing pictures of K come into our hands; amazing because they are so very different.

The first one is named Cereal Killer in honor of a friend who told me, upon seeing this picture, that this is what they call in their house the "Serial Killer Smile."  When she explained that to her daughter, perpetrator of said smile,  the little girl's response was "Mommy, I don't kill cereal, I eat it."  In this picture, K is definitely looking like she wants to hurt some cereal, or perhaps she ate too much of it at breakfast.

The next picture just took my breath away.  This is how you want to see your child look EVERY DAY.  Confident, happy, comfortable in her own skin.  This level of comfort comes from the fact  that K is, due to a fluke of birthday cut-offs, the oldest, tallest, most experienced player on her soccer team this year.  She is dominating all of those 3 and 4 year old girls who are picking flowers and chasing butterflies while she drives her ball into the goal.  She is en fuego and is enjoying it for all it's worth.  She'd better, next year she'll be playing with the 6 year old girls and she'll be the small fish in the big pond all over again.

Happy Friday y'all (all 9 of you) and Happy Halloween!
