"Mom, I'm not a girly girl; I'm a soccer girl." Spoken like the tough girl she is. My shy mouse changes completely when she ties on her shoes and steps onto the soccer field. The ball is hers and the other team needs to just step aside. A soccer girl.
She's gotten so big this year. She's gone from still having a baby belly to being lean and athletic. She raises an eyebrow at fluffy skirts, and demands a bit of funk and sequin to go with her pink. I can live with the funk.
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. 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.
She may be tough, but she's still my baby.
(I took this with my phone, so it's not the best resolution. Sorry)

So precious!
Loretta just took a picture of me sleeping just like that. Weird.

My (now sixteen-year-old) daughter used to suck her thumb and pinch her belly button! Thanks for the memories!!
What a sweet photo!
My sweet girly 10-year-old soccer girl always loved her belly button--I couldn't even put her in a one-piece bathing suit when she was a toddler, or she would cry!
Every once in a while, I see her still playing w/her belly button @ bedtime. So precious!
Darling, but Mom, she is going to be really mad at you if she ever sees this. :)
my sweet 18 month old likes to play with MY belly button while she's nursing :)
