February 2012

February was a very busy month for us and especially for Titi.  She participated in the Samaritans Club at her school and they were featured on one of the local channels.  They only interviewed 3 kids but we could see Titi on the video.  We were excited to see her on TV!   She also has been having Chorus rehearsals on Tuesdays so I have to pick her from school, which is not always easy since I have to leave work at a specific time but it is worth it.  She lovs to be part of it.  Her teacher invited her to participate in something called "Spotlight of Young Musicians" and Titi is going to be part of the elementary school chorus that will perform at the Kravis Center in May.  Rehearsals will start in March.

Another exciting thing was that Titi's soccer team made it into the playoffs.  They were in almost last place of the regular season.  I think they placed in 7th place but once the playoffs started, they got better every time they played.  They beated 3 teams and then played against the Gold team, the only undefeated team up to that time.  Titi's team, the Champagne team, played hard but they lost 1-0.  Then, they won another game and went to the finals, against the Gold team. Everybody thought the Gold team was going to win and they were going to end the season and the championship undefeated but Titi's game won!  We were super excited!  Titi played defense and she had to cover a girl that was very tall.  Titi did not even reach her shoulder! The division is for under 12 years old at August 1st, 2011 so some girls that were 11 at that time, they had turned 12 already. Titi is still 10 and not very tall so it was interesting to see the little ones play against the tall girls.  We had two older girls that were very good and helped the team win.  Alissa and Ashlyn.  Titi loved playing with both.
