Football

Walker's had football practice for the past two weeks... every single day.  And finally this week was their first game...

They are the grizzlies this year... and boy was he bummed that he didn't get to pick out his jersey number this year... it was just luck of the draw. He was the only kid to have his name on it though...(the coach's business sponsored the team and they are in the business of headstones)

He's been playing middle linebacker or the cornerback position again this year...(he's the one standing on the right hand side in the blue shirt.)

It was a rough first game for all involved.. At what age does competitiveness drive outweigh the negatives?? I'm hoping it takes over soon... there is only so much positive attitude I can have before I (get the worse parent of the year award by) saying, "Suck it up... if your feet hurt well run harder!"  "Other team is physically holding you??...well move around, what if it was your sister holding you... I don't think we'd have a problem?"  Oh man here's to hoping that next weeks game will be better... I don't know if sports will be his thing after this year but he so needs the constant activity.
