flag football

 A couple weeks ago Stetson man started flag football.  I just asked Michael what I should say about this post and he said to say " Stetson has just started to play flag football and he's just getting the hang of it."   We love Stetson to the moon and back but so far in his young life, sports is not his strong point.  In his defense, some of these kids are on their 2nd or 3rd year of flag football since they start everyone a lot younger here in the big city.  One thing I can boast about is the fact that Stetson's attitude has improved by leaps and bounds.  Stetson's teacher (bless her heart) started a sticker chart as an incentive for good behavior and its appearing to be a huge help.  Michael has been working with Stetson on understanding the actual game of football, even drawing out some pretty impressive diagrams.  We're trying to help him understand the "bigger picture" and not just blocking, which he DOES have down pat. :)  He's never really where the action is, just kinda runs around in the same general direction as the rest of the players.  Just another month and he can start basketball camp!  (Don't tell Michael)

I can't believe he is playing football! He will be a professional before you know it. :) And if football doesn't work out maybe he and Jay can start a band.
