Oh brother its Football..

Ok, well I gave in.. I gave in to Jackson and football. I was hoping... really, really, really, hoping Jack wouldn't want anything to do with pain, breaking ribs, concussions... I mean football. Football.

I thought when he was a baby, if he didn't want to play baseball that it would break my heart. I was wrong. He tried baseball, he was on a few teams, but he really was interested. I think because there was just too much down time. I get it!

When he wanted to play basketball, I thought "Ok, fine, try it, and I'm sure you will want to go back to baseball." Well I was wrong, not only did he like basketball, he was actually pretty darn good at it!! AND, Jonny and I REALLY love to watch him play!

Turns out we don't miss baseball at all!

 I surprised myself.

Well, he then started throwing a football around with his older cousin/buddy Brian. Well, turns out he is pretty good at that too. Brian taught him a lot about the game, and of course we all watch Brian play his games, and Jack then got hooked! He started watching games at home with Jonny, and played John Madden on XBox. Finally he begs us to play football. Ok, fine I gave in, but I would only give in to FLAG football. I told him that he needed to get to know the game more, and know what he's doing out there before my little baby boy starts gettin' beat up!!! ugh!!!

Well, again to my surprise he REALLY loves it, and he is good at it............((sigh)).

Also a surprise, I really like watching him play the game!! He doesn't take his eye off of the ball whether he is on the field or on the sidelines. He is completely into to. So I guess I am going to have to pull away a little on this and let my little bird fly... with a helmet and shoulder pads, and knock the snot outta his competition!! This is gonna be interesting!

I love that kid!!!!!!
