The Young and the Restless

My little Juker

He's kinda really cute when he explains the in's and out's of football to me.  He's kinda really cute when he talks with his mouth guard in, and when he defines "juking" for me, and when he offers to carry my folding chair, and when he looks over at me with a smile everytime he makes a good play, and when he refers to me coming to his game as a "mommy date".  Yeah, this little football player of mine is kinda really cute.  (And yeah, I think I need to buy him some longer shorts too.  I swear he's grown overnight.)

This is the play that could have gone down as the best play of the game, he ran the ball almost the entire length of the field....

And then as he sees the player getting closer....

He comes to a complete dead halt. RIGHT before the touchdown markers. The coaches weren't too happy.  This is where I got my lesson on juking.  He later explained how he scored the winning touchdown at recess doing this move, just too bad for him that it didn't work this time.  Oh well, I like how he has his head in the game and is always trying to outsmart the other players.  He had some other great plays and scored a two point conversion (no, I didn't know what that was. yes, I had to have him explain it to me). You done made your mama proud, boy.
