Football Hero

Mason's football season has been a blast to watch this season. They made it to the final four out of 42 teams. I was so  proud of them and happy that Mason was able to have this experience. On Tuesday we went to the Final Four playoff game. It was a long drive with a screaming one year old, but we did it! The game was close but was a loss in the end. The boys were really bummed. There were lots of tears, but my boy was strong! There was a collision at the end that left him a little shook up, but he battled through. By the time we got to the car, he was ready to joke. He really does have a good sense of humor. I love that he's learning to see the humor in things that aren't really that funny.
We were comparing last season to this season and basically the records were reversed. They won two last season and lost two this season. We were having that "talk" about losing building character and preparing you for times in your life when you won't "win", how important it is to show strong and honest character, character is the fabric of your life, character, character, character. He said, "Well, if that's true, after last season, I should be in a book!" Love that my boy combines literature and sports!
