Football Fanatic

I was resigned to the fact that P wasn't going to be our athlete. We had tried soccer, t-ball and basketball all to no avail (He actually liked basketball but it was only a 4 day Summer camp). That is until football. The season started like any other.....he liked the social aspect and the concept of playing the sport but really couldn't excel in catching, throwing or getting in their to pull flags for "tackles". Rob has diligently been practicing with him every day and P now lives, eats and breathes football. Last night I got to witness the fruits of his labor!! He got 2 "tackles", got a pass and was involved in every play. In fact, he was doing so well that he only got pulled out for a couple minutes and he played more than any other player! I was so proud of him, not because he was the star last night, but because he gave it 110% during every play. He has come so far in such a short time and is really becoming quite the football player!!

(These pics were from his first game where he was more of a "cheerleader" than a player. I'll take my camera to another game to get more active pictures.)
