 His football season has really kicked into gear the past 2 weeks. He was so excited to finally be in pads. His exact words to me a few weeks ago were: "I can't wait till we get in pads, I really want to hit somebody! " (Words that make a mom shudder.) True to his words, he has come out hitting hard so far. In their first pre-season game he was named Defensive MVP (by the opposing team!) and was given a trophy.
The season (only 2 weeks old) has already been a tough one for the team, they have lost 2 of their players to injuries. One boy went out the first game in an ambulance with a neck sprain, then last week another boy on the team went out in an ambulance with a dislocated elbow and broken arm! And they have only played pre season games. The regular season games start this weekend. Loose teeth make me woozy and I am blessed with the boy that loves to play football and roller hockey. Not only does he love the sports, but he seems to have some talent in them both. I wouldn't trade him for any other. So while my head may be bowed in prayer during his games it is probably also bowed because I don't want to look.

 (Don't worry those big boys are on his team!) My big tough boy still likes me to "tuck" him in at night.
(We call this the "mummy tuck")
