...I'm letting my son play tackle football.
Hey, at 8 years old, he's just TOO CUTE! ;-) He's been playing flag football for the last few years, and he loved it...at 8, they move on to tackle. And I think he loves it even more! (Surprise! LOL) His first game (a scrimmage, after the professional pics) was today. I have to say they looked great! His coaches are hard core, too! They are serious and mean business! They looked nice out there themselves, with their matching khaki pants and black polo shirts. ;-) (None of the other coaches I saw today looked that together.) Their team is the Eagles, and of course Daddy was so happy to have had the opportunity to hand pick Micah's jersey # a few weeks ago. ;-) (I'm sure a few of you will recognize its significance.)
So...we'll see how long Mama lets this go on...of course, Ken's first words as we were leaving the field today were, "See, you don't think he's going to get hurt at THIS age, do you?" Hmmmm...maybe not, but when do I need to draw the line? I have to admit, it's going to be harder than I once thought, because Micah just has too much fun...and he just looks too cool doing it! :-)
Don't you agree??? |
