This Friday evening and first thing Saturday morning, Catherine is going to be officially trying out for the 7th grade girls' basketball team. She mentioned today that there are at least 16 girls trying out, and my heart fell. That means 1 of every 4 girls will be cut from the team, and I don't love those odds. I know that she is very far from being the best player on the team, but she really enjoys it and she really wants to make the team. I would love, love, love for this to happen for her, so if anyone has any good thoughts to send her way early this weekend we would really appreciate it! I did learn that apparently she is actually a pretty decent three-point shot, so I am hoping that might be able to tip the scales in her favor. She said that the coaches will let everyone know as soon as try outs are over on Saturday. I think I'm going to have to send Andrew...if it doesn't go the way we hope I just don't know how I'm going to be able to comfort her when my heart will be breaking right along with her!
We did get really fabulous news at parent/teacher conferences this evening. She is doing a fabulous job in her classes and we are really proud of her. Her teachers all commented on her work ethic and that she is doing a great job of participating in classes. This is not at all the girl who went to elementary school a few years ago, and I can't help but feel it is due in some part to making our move here. I am so proud of my girl!
