Just two weeks ago my oldest son’s football team looked like the cutest bunch of bobble heads. Now just a few weeks later they are making actual plays and tackling each other like pros. Well… 6 to 9 year old pros, but still, it’s amazing how far they have come in such a short time. I think it’s time I make the full commitment to team mom and start wearing the team jersey and learn what things one yells from the sidelines. I might have to write them down on 3×5 cards for the first few games.
