A-man's First Football Practice

So we began a new chapter in our lives today! A-Man started flag football today. He was so excited he actually woke up at 640 this morning on his own. He was an eager little man. We went to practice this afternoon. He started out on the o-line. He was doing ok, but I quickly realized we may need a little extra help. Low and behold who walks up? Coach and 7 Blue Devil football players. A-Man did a double take when he saw all of the boys standing there watching him. A couple of linemen demonstrated some technique and I think the little ones loved it. The next play A-Man blocked a little better. After practice A-Man's flag football coach said A-Man asked if he could tackle. I said oh lord! He has been hanging with the big boys too long. I just hope he remembers he can't tackle quite yet. I think A-man is going to do well. We shall see...... BTW our first game is Sept 17, so I will definitely have an update then about flag football!
