Why is it so hard when one of our kids looses at a sport? I don't mean for them, I mean as a parent. Both of my boys teams lost today and I think I took it harder than they did. Why is that? Yes, I am competitive, but why do I get so tied up over their stuff? I think I felt more sorrow over Thomas and his teams loss than I did over Jacks. Not sure why. Tom's little team all had tears in their eyes and I was welling up too. They just had progressed so much this year and I think all of the parents were sad too. We watched these little seven and eight year olds learn the game and really start to understand the game.
I hope they will all continue to play. Thomas will move up to tackle football next year and that is a whole other animal. Several of the boys on Tom's team will be old enough to move up and I hope that they all do. They are all such good athletes. Well, my time on the football field is done I guess. I don't think they allow team Moms on the field in tackle football. HA HA!! Maybe I should be a coach? Yeah, I know all the men would give me heck.
