Even with two boys we can’t say we have ever been soccer
or hockey parents. There are many reasons, the cottage..schedules..priorities…neither
liking soccer..hockey too may concussions when played long term etc… they have
been on teams for 1-2 years and then one (or all of us) get fed up or too bored
and declare “Enough!!!”
But regardless our boys have played those sports and literally
every other sport under the sun. At clinics, at camps, at specialized four week
programs etc. They are well versed and play almost every sport –especially now
with their sports program where they touch 65 sports over 5 years.
That being said we don’t sit in bleachers ever weekend.
And when we do our kid’s teams often lose.
Well not yesterday!!!!!!!! Flag football season ended
with Bear’s team at the finals which is a big deal as some of this team are amazing
and HUGE. Well clearly not amazing or big enough. Bear’s team won and are now going
to Provincials next weekend!!!! In Quebec! Omg. And he is one of the team
captains!!!! Never seen his face so proud.
And I was unselfish and very happy for them too even if
he can’t be there for a big planned weekend with his Godmother and family L((I was selfless and still
felt happy for him even though he will miss a great weekend.
But I know he will adore this winning streak.
And it lessened my guilt of not being soccer of hockey Mom..as
he is going to provincials so he can tell his wife that one day! At his
graduation I can say “yes as team captain the weekend he went to provincials..or
tell his kid one day “well yes the year your Dad was at the provincials. Just
some statements that make him sound really important (and us better parents)I
am glad I can now truthfully squeeze in there. Our son the football here-who ever knew???
Xoxo Good going Bear!
PS-on a roll here so better mention he is also invited second year in a row to the honorary Sec 2 Awards Gala. Very very very big honor for that school filled to the brim of very bright kids to be hand chosen and selected!! yahoo bear!!!
