volleyball tryouts

well this is a very old post i was thinking about-kelsi tried out for volleyball this year...real try-outs where about 1/2 the girls get cut and your cut, cut! well i was so stinkin' nervous for her, we both knew she was one of the weaker players and quite a few of the moms and student coaches had told me that if her coach was going on determination and hard work then kelsi was going to make it but on pure skill-probably not. so we were both quite nervous...i love that up to now kelsi was willing to try anything and i was so scared that if she didn't make volleyball that she would maybe be scared to try the next thing. and i was asking everyone what do you say when they don't make it: i mean we know that are kids are amazing and talented and awesome! but it's hard when others tell you your not quite good enough...
well thankfully it wasn't a talk i had to give yet, she made it! i know that it will come someday, i mean we all can't be the best at everything! it really made me realize that being a mom doesn't come as naturally as i thought it would...some things you'll never be ready for.
