Jake just completed his 2nd season of football. My blond-haired #3 did such a great job and I'm so proud of him! He started the season fully expecting to play quarterback or running back, but the coaches saw something different in him and wanted him to lead out on defense. Oh the disappointment. He was so upset that he went and hid his last year's football trophy in his closet and shut the door. After a heart to heart talk with mom and dad, we talked about how we all play a role, and now it was his job to put great fear into all the running backs on opposing teams! The next practice this kid was hitting every thing that moved! We were so proud of him for taking his disappointment and turning it into a challenge. He even got the chance to represent his team in escorting the little queen candidate for this particular football league. It was a great season, and we made some memories. Congratulations Jake, on a job well done!
