Flag football that is!! We(well Alex) has 2 practices left and one game. Of course he also has his football party at the end of the month and then his banquet in November. I can not wait for it to be over. I love all the friends he has on the team, and how excited he gets for games, but it has been a LONG season. Not to mention a expensive season. If I had known how much money was going to go into this I would have waited. Not to mention the practices, games, and field days. It is just too much for these kids.
Anyone who knows Alex knows that he has endless amounts of energy. But between school, practice, games, and all the other activities during the week and on weekends he is exhausted. Which also means he gets moody. And anyone who knows me knows that I hate whining!!! So I am glad it is almost over. We will not be doing it again next year. Maybe when he is old enough for tackle and if he wants to play we will do it but not till then. And same with Zach..no flag football.
I think Alex would have liked it more if he could have been the quarterback. I mean the kids got a great arm. We know it, his coaches comment on it all the time, but in flag they don't throw. And most of the kids can barely catch. Its actually somewhat said. (Hi I'm super competitive and so is my kid) He wants to be the best and he gets annoyed when kids can not do some things he can. I wonder where he gets that from?? :)
For now we will enjoy the last 3 days of football and think about what sport/s he might want to try next. At some point I am hoping he picks just one and sticks with it, but I have no problem with him trying what he wants and seeing what he really enjoys.He defiantly got my athletic ability ( I know I am modest)so I think he will be big into sports as he gets older. I am just hoping that its not football! :)
