we have been visiting my brother, Spencer, wife Jenny, daughter's Taylor (2) and Mia (7 months) in Toronto.
Proud Daddy Spencer: See that group over there. "Apparently," that's the higher level. Can you believe they rank 2 year olds? But, that's OK. Taylor's goal is to move up. Right Taylor? Show Uncle John and Auntie Shelley how you play soccer. Lots of energy now.
Taylor: Daddy, I need a snack.
Spencer: OK. But not until after you practice...
Taylor:...
Spencer:... Or right now's good too. OK. Off you go. Go get 'em!
Taylor:...
Shelley, John, Spencer: Yayyy! Taylor!
Spencer: She just scored. She's talented eh?
Shelley and John: You bet she is! Go Taylor!!!
Taylor: Daddy! I need a drink. Daddy! Daddy!
Spencer: Here you go. OK Taylor, time to stretch. Look how she follows directions. She's a really good listener, eh?
Shelley and John: You bet she is! Go Taylor!!!
Spencer: I don't even have to sit with her like other parents do. She's really independent, eh?
Shelley and John: You bet she is! Go Taylor!!!
John: Ah, isn't she playing with the grass?
Spencer: Shoot. Sure hope there aren't any scouts out here today. She's not as focused right now. Ha! Ha! Doesn't matter, stretching is over rated. OK here we go. Watch her in this drill. Thatta girl Taylor!!!! Look how fast she is. She just passed everyone. Ha! Ha! She's fast, eh?
Shelley and John: You bet she is! Go Taylor!!!
