Football season is fresh upon us. I love going to Rylan's practices. The girls get to play with friends on the playground, I get to catch up with all the other football mom's and watch my baby grow in his abilities. I am still nervous about Ry playing tackle. If it were up to me the boy would still be in flag but Rylan and his dad love it so. This is Rylan's first year in Jr. Pee Wee. It is his third year in pads and tackle and his fifth year to play. Jr. Pee Wee is much more intense and much more for the boys to learn to play. This year the coach will not be on the field to help call plays and tell the boys what they are supposed to do in each play. The quarterback is the lead once on the field. He had to know for himself what he is doing but also all the other players on the team. I love getting to travel to other towns, building the homecoming float, watching Rylan learn the fun in winning and the upset in losing. (We lost to the Hawley Bearcats in the Superbowl last year.) I think it is important for him to learn the feeling of losing. I am excited for this season. We will have our games at 2 p.m. in the middle of the heat and nap time but I still can't wait!
