mommy's little Pens fan.

it looks like i'm doing a good job raising Carly.

whenever hockey is on the tv, she says "GOOOAAALLLL!"

and last night the Penguins came on and I told her to say Go Pens.

And what does she say?

"GO PENS!"

that was one proud mommy moment.

but perhaps the most fun is when the Pens score a goal.

the fun thing about hockey is you can't see the goal coming, and then all the sudden GOAL! i have a tendency to jump up and celebrate when the Pens score, and last night Carly thought it was a great deal of fun. luckily the Pens scored 4 goals before Carly's bedtime, so there was a lot of celebrating.

and when its time to stop celebrating and continue watching the game? well, that doesn't happen for Carly. we would stop jumping and cheering, and she would motion to us and say "Pease." Please keep jumping and cheering with me. There was a lot of celebrating last night.

the girl cheers for the Pens with all her might, regardless of the health risks involved:

now that is team spirit.
