Gah, I’m obsessed with all of this 🥺😍 I lol’d when he looked you dead in the eye and said, “Hold it.” But then he felt safe enough for you to leave!! Ugh, my heart. The whole image of there being scarred glass between you, and you not being able to ask or help. I cannot. What a metaphor for letting go 😩 Well done, CJ and Megan. I’m fangirling you both! And Kyeler the mascot too, obvs.
Eeep thank you love!! This means a lot coming from the Queen of Metaphors (you 👸). I should have added that Kyeler ended up being an excellent mascot and cheers louder than any of the parents 😂
He is darling!! I am the loudest mom at my daughter’s basketball games, and I refuse to change. STEAL IT FROM HER! Get that rebound! Let’s GOOOOO!!! 😅😂 Watching our kids be brave and try new things is so emotional and rewarding!
"One week I surprised myself by banging on the glass in excitement when CJ scored his first goal." Yeah, you did. You're a good mama, Megan. Man, letting them fly is rough on us sometimes.
Aww thank you Becky!! Your kindness means more than you know. I had no idea that youth sports would bring out such primal maternal instincts in me ha 😅
“Hold it” ☠️ So glad you captured this in writing! Every one of those hilarious moments are worth writing down and keeping! And the introspective thoughts on watching them grow up and letting go. All of it, pure gold 🩷

So sweet and so true! I think I’m mostly *only* on the sidelines these days, but I’m cheering so loud.
🥹🥹 and I know it means so much to your kids!!
You captured this feeling so well! Said after watching my son hit his first free throws, and attending my daughter’s first gymnastics class 🥹
Ahhh there’s just something about it, isn’t there?! A little piece of your heart out there shooting free throws 🥲
Who knew any part of me could ever be good at basketball?
Motherhood is full of surprises 😂
Our boys are in hockey here in Kenya. Didn’t think that would ever be but it’s a crazy world!
So cool!
I loved reading this so much! We haven’t started sports yet…but we’re close and I imagine I’ll be their biggest cheerleader too
Thanks for reading, Amber! Yes it’s so fun! My oldest are 5 and we just started dipping our toes into the world of sports 🤗
Aw I love this so much! So well written and so relatable! 💛
Thanks Kym!! 🥰

“Steal it from her” hahaha so hardcore!! No mercy from a basketball mom 😂😂
So perfect! Hold it!
This is so true of motherhood!
Haha very true! We’re holding… literally everything at all times 😅😅

Absolutely precious. Why are little kids on skates the cutest sight ever??? I love that you’re a hockey mom now!
Honestly I am loving it way more than I anticipated! And I agree there is just something about small ice skates and hockey sticks 🥲
