a natural

haven't been able to fall back asleep for a few hours so here i am, up laying next to a sleeping ezra, researching things for our new home-to-be. tonight was ezra's last soccer game of the season. i really do love watching him play. sometimes he is too nice and timid; makes some simple passes or just kicks the ball once when surrounded by other players. when he is a little bit more aggressive he does very well. just before the final whistle (not that there really is one, lol) he dribbled the ball for half the field, past a few defenders (on the right side of the goal, and he's a lefty), across to the left side of the goal and fires it to the back of the net with his left foot. it really was impressive, definitely the best i've seen him play this year, and so much improved from when he started this little soccer academy. 

he has always been athletically inclined. basketball, baseball and soccer have all come naturally to him. one of the girls on his team would always tell her mom, the coach, she wanted to be on ezra's team. and not just because he is good, lol. but her mom told me her daughter wants to practice harder because she can't believe a preschooler is better than her! we had a dad come up to us after the game and ask how old ezra is and say how impressed he was. barely five years old playing against lots of 6+ year old kids and he holds his own. 

so yeah it was a proud parent moment and its just nice to see your kid succeed. he usually plays hard, never complains (at least not about soccer!), and always has fun. and his celebrations after he scores are the best. always airplanes it to his fan section for a round of high fives-- you can tell he watches professional soccer and knows how to celebrate. 😂

not saying he won't have other strengths or talents but he definitely is a natural athlete and no matter what he loved to do or was good at i'd be there supporting him 100%. maybe he'll just go be a violinist someday? def don't feel that he has musical genes but i guess we'll see. just so proud of him and looking forward to spending all our money on sports teams his whole life. hah. 

now i need to seriously catch up somewhat on blogging. I sorta try to use my camera roll as a general reminder of what to blog about, and since i got my new phone in october and it has way too much storage, i have over 4000 images!!! gaaah so yeah i will need to purge eventually. between going to school 16 credits two semesters in a row to selling our townhome to planning on building a new home to doing photography for people on top of the regular stuff of being a mom and doing all that day to day stuff (and lately so much researching home stuff) i'm just crazy behind. pray i get my ish together okay!
