It started with his teacher's appreciation for the Steelers. And Eric and Rey going to the Cardinal's game. And us cheering Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald through the season. For Christmas, Santa delivered a full-on Miami Dolphins football uniform (he loves dolphins). The months since Christmas have seen Max in full gear practicing to be a football player, calling out "plays" in the living room, and pestering everyone to throw him some catches. I think this kid is motivated.
So Max will play Spring 2010 Flag Football. He is super excited and so are we. Max has watched Bryanna play sports and although he expressed interest in soccer, we want him to have his own game. Besides, at this level we think flag football is the best fit. He can totally understand "get open so they can throw the ball to you and you catch and run like the wind over the goal line and don't let anyone pull your flag". He has been playing at recess with the other boys every day.
I have signed up to be team mom and overall helper. I guess my cowbell is gonna see more play time!
