Today was Pinky’s soccer and T-ball summer last class.

She (and her cousin while was visiting) had such a great summer time. Every Wednesday Pinky was eager to start her lessons and run wild, at least for an hour. Therefore, I took this occasion to keep reinforcing some really important tasks: Courtesy and grace.

Teach my daughter to be grateful for her coaches or teachers for taking their time and patience to share their knowledge is one of the priceless gift I could ever give her.

It doesn’t have to be anything expensive or elaborated, just a thought of appreciation.  Believe me, her coaches where really surprised and glad about the unexpected detail, as well as her teammates.

About Pinky, I could not describe how Proud and Happy she was about herself.

Priceless!!!

Coaches gifts: Water bottle, Kashi cherry dark chocolate chewy granola bar, Planters nuts mixed bag.

Team gifts (24 in total): Mott’s medleys fruit snacks (24 box), sticker box (Dollar tree store: 7/$1), pencils (Dollar tree store: 12/$1)

The end of her summer classes only means: Is time to get ready for Back-to-school!!!!
