When Owen asked to sign up for flag football, Shane asked if he could as well. So before he could change his mind, I signed him up...and paid for it....so there was no way that he could back out. I was surprised that he was willing to put himself out there.
And he's really been stretching himself to the limit. Most of these kids have been playing for years. But I'm proud of him for hanging in there and trying. He doesn't seem to get too down on himself. He's just having fun, which is what it's all about.
A few select photos from his football game. :)
Center...his favorite position so far.
Shane decides to try something new...which for him is a BIG deal. And for his reward? Check out the size of the kid that he is responsible for guarding.
I'd truly understand if he never wanted to play again. I thought about asking the kid for his drivers license. :p
His facial expression cracks me up. I'd feel that way too if that kid was coming straight at me!
A little more cautious about getting the flags than most kids.
But yet he pressed on.
And caught himself a flag.
If anyone can figure out how to get him to stop messing with his hands, let me know!
He is very attentive to the coach and is trying to learn everything he can about the game. He told me that he noticed that people's feet were pointed in the same direction as the direction that they ran.
What other kid would think about looking at something like that?
God I love that kid.
