Nicolas played for the Elmhurst Eagles this year. It was his first year playing tackle football and he worked us until we finally said yes. It took about four years. The Midwest folks don't mes around when it comes to their football and so we entered the "football zone." Nicolas played a guard and was the kicker. He tackled the quarterback more times than anyone and he even had a few interceptions. He was very good at the defense aspect of the game. Isabella was of course his number one cheerleader although she will not ever be a cheerleader, but she was still there screaming for him. Becca, AKA Mary Poppins, made cute shirts for Bella and I to wear to the games. The eagles had a homecoming and the teams go around and toilet paper each others houses and then they leave yard markers so everyone knows who plays for the Eagles. Then the next morning we tailgate and go play hour homecoming game. It's like high school all over again, seriously. They had fun and that's what matters. Nicolas loved that he could tackle other kids and not get in trouble for doing it. He said he was saving his anger up for the games and would take it out on the other players. Hey whatever works! He hasn't had any problems at school since football started! Now that it's over I'm not sure what we will do.
