Hallelujiah! Football season is upon us! The Aggies have started their season, pro ball is done with pre-season, and my oldest DS is starting YMCA tackle football! WHOOP! The oldest DS was 'discovered' at church a couple of Sundays ago by a friend. The friend assumed that we'd gotten DS signed up, but after our summer, we'd missed the sign-up deadline. Well, his son is on a team and that team needed one more player. You guessed it...my DS filled the slot.
Now bear in mind that my DS is 10 and is 5'6" and about 170 lbs. I'm fairly certain that I'll have to have a copy of his birth certificate on me at our games, just to prove he's young enough to be playing. But, DS is thrilled to be playing and I'm thrilled to be a football mom.
I doubt the checkbook is thrilled. We, of course, purchase all of our own equipment for this endeavor and I'm suiting out a kid who is as big as some high schoolers. Ah well....the price I pay for having a lineman!
