as i sit on the sidelines cheering you on, i sometimes can't believe thats you on the court.
as i sit on the sidelines, i am so proud of you never giving up despite the score.
as i sit on the sidelines, i laugh at how you have to have .07 mechanical pencils,
that your room is cluttered with clothes and cords,
that your homework is meticulous, that you check your grades daily online,
that you eat more for lunch than i eat all day,
that you have to have 2 dasani waters in your brown bag,
that you love lays chips but not at lunch,
that you always have one white earbud in your ear,
that you are quiet in the morning,
that you love bluebell mint chocolate chip ice cream,
that you and i love dan brown books,
that you prefer scifi movies,
that you watch csi reruns,
that you unwind with xbox video games,
that you love to share your favorite apps with us,
that you help nathan with his algebra homework,
that you are already picking out your high school classes - trying to
set a course that will allow you maximum number of college credits,
that you play winter flag football on the weekends instead of
playing video games all day,
that you tower over me but still say goodnight every night,
that you love to test me about current musical artists &
laugh that i can never remember the difference
between j-zee and j-cole or rhianna & ke$ha,
that you are always on time to leave for school, practice or life.
as i sit on the sidelines, i just wanted to remember the little things
that you do that make me smile today!
