I’ve grown used to the idea of BoBo playing football. The summer of conditioning and practice has helped prepare me for the season. I guess my mind was in “conditioning” so to speak.
It was more curiosity then fear that I was feeling as I drove to the field after YaYa finished his swimming lessons. Today, it would only be a “scrimmage”. I think that means it will be shorter.
The football schedule had Varsity, Frosh-Soph, and Freshman noted as a 5 pm start, so I had no idea if I had missed the Freshman playing by the time we arrived. As we were walking from the parking lot to the field, I heard a parent tell someone that “it was all over.” But then I heard that the freshman would be taking the field next. Perfect timing.
Let me just say that the good thing about BoBo playing quarterback is that it is easier to spot him. When I first looked on the field, I saw a boy that was similar in build to BoBo playing QB. His movements weren’t quite right; they weren’t BoBo-like. But as I continued to watch, the QB’s movements were suddenly BoBo-like after all. I didn’t see anyone come on or off the field. Whatever.
I sat with some of the other football Mom’s, and we all complained that we were having a hard time recognizing our kids out on the field. I played along because I wasn’t *100%* sure that I was watching BoBo…
…but I was *pretty* sure.
BoBo was playing well today,
and he *wasn’t* getting hurt.
So far, so good.
My son has played soccer since he was four. His coach at his high school invited him to play, and Jimmy tried running back, tailback, wide reciever. When Dee Dee found out, she had a cow :-) He’s now the “place kicker”. She groaned when he told her he was the runner on an option fake, LOL.
