On our way over I told Dailey that if she played really hard I thought she could score a goal. She said "I don't think I can do it" I told her how fast of a runner she is and I knew she could do it!
She than told me how she didn't like to kick the ball and hurt the other kids. It is pretty crazy in there with all those kids around the ball. I explained about her shin guards and that everyone would be fine.
So I thought I might pull out a bribe. I told her if she scored a goal we would take the whole family out for ice cream!! She got all excited and said she would TRY. Grandma gave her a big pep talk too!
She got out there and she was aggressive and really tried hard to know where the ball was and she ran hard and had some really great kicks.
We told Cole he better cheer Dailey on because if she scored we all got ice cream. So when she came out for a break he called her over and he said okay Dailey run and he had her run and he was coaching her. It was so cute and funny.
It was getting to the end of the game and I turned to my Mom and Kevin and said we have to take her out for ice cream anyway. She has played so hard. Just than she was in the right place at the right time and the ball came over by her and she gave it two good kicks and into the goal it went!!!
She was so excited!! Our whole team was so excited! We don't get very many goals. It may have been only our second goal all season. Her coach said run give your mom a hug!
She ran over and hugged us all and than ran back on the field. They did one more play and than the game was over!!
We went out to Leatherby's!
Later Dailey said, "when you guys are proud of me it make my cheeks go real big" ha ha. She couldn't stop smiling!
