“Hockey, Hockey, Hockey”

The title is a direct quote from my daughter Nuria.  She seems to be quite the field hockey fan.  As of a few months ago, she has been grabbing my field hockey stick (which is twice as tall as she is!) and trying to hit the field hockey ball with it.  This had been going on for a while by the time that I checked online and found out that I could buy her an 18 inch field hockey stick of her own! 

So now I when I walk in the room and ask her where her hockey stick is, she will run over and pick up her stick while yelling “Hockey, Hockey, Hockey!”  (She is starting to show signs of being quite the talker, I know, big surprise given who her father is!)  She loves to go out to the grass behind our house and attempt to dribble the hockey ball around with her new stick.  It is very cute! 

Here are a few photos of her with her new field hockey stick.  She still has to work on her grip as you can see in the photos, but, hey, she is only 17 months old!!!   

We have relearned so much about the joys of life from our little bundle of energy!
