The story goes like this, Nikole said: When it was time to let their family know that they were having a girl, Nikole and Arun wanted a special way to break the news to her father. They searched and searched for a pink soccer ball for her former pro-soccer-player dad. When they couldn’t find one, […]

By four months old, there’s no question a little girl has a mind of her own.
