More about me and the kids

The oldest two boys are playing football for the first time this year (3S has cerebral pausy), both the kid's teams are still undefeated over halfway through the season and past the point of playing the toughest teams in their leagues. We were very fortunate in that they both managed to get on a team not with the biggest kids or best talent but a great, experienced, coaching staff who know how to utilize what they've been given.

2S knocked some kid's tooth out at two nights ago! He usualy prefers to juke a pontential tackler when carrying "the pigskin" but coach made them do a drill where they had no room for any of that, just good ole fashioned rough-nose American football, 2S lowered his shoulder and ran through the target like he was supposed to, the other kid's technique was sloppy and he paid for it! It was one of the lower middle teeth, I suspect it might have been lose already, hope fully it wasn't an adult tooth. Now if 2S can apply that to tackleing and blocking he'll be set!

I like to end posts with quotes so the first shall be:

I know heaps of quotations, so I can always make quite a fair show of knowledge.
