My Ball of Joy

My favorite, favorite thing about Frances is how her energy and joy can literally change the entire feeling in a room. That is how she is at basketball. She gets SO excited and so exuberant about everything...it makes other people just smile. She was VERY excited at the end of practice yesterday as after a team vote -- her teammates picked the team name she suggested....The Watermelons. Fierce. 

Side note: Her current favorite song, that she makes me TURN UP every time it comes on....Pink....the chorus "You gotta get up and try, try, try....You gotta get up and try". The irony is not lost on me.
