As some of you know, Logan has rarely been seen these past 2 months (give or take) without a football in his hand…usually begging some adult to throw it to him while he “run routes”. Since Brian and I have neither the inclination nor the actual time (with soccer, lacrosse etc) to let him play “real” football, I signed him up for flag football through the park district…which started yesterday. Practice was at 6. We had to do a countdown like allllll day. It lasted an hour…or as Logan said “like 2 minutes”. They practiced hiking the ball, passing from person to person while running and throwing while running 2 different patterns. Logan could so barely contain himself that the coaches asked him multiple times to please stop running around (he was clearly mimicking catching the ball and running like mad) and focus on what they were doing. From my perspective, it was a lot of standing in line and waiting for your turn. I think Logan only touched the ball 10 times in the whole hour. While we really really hope he has a fun time with this sport, I think he might start realizing pretty soon that it’s not going to be him with the ball all the time…and I’m not sure how he’s going to feel about that ;)
