Almost every Sunday, the kiddos and I head over to my parent’s house for dinner. They are so kind to have us over considering all of the chaos that we can sometimes cause. I am just grateful that the kids are getting to the age that they love to sit and color or do puzzles while at their house.

Toad has picked up a new habit. He sits on Grandpa’s lap and they watch the game. This has been a tradition since he was tiny! Dad would hold Toad any time they came over to watch any sporting event. It has just been recently that he has become completely enthralled with sports. He knows the basic concepts of football and basketball. He knows the differences between the teams and he can tell if the team scores or not.

So, now he is determined to be a football player…. all the time. Any time he is wandering around the house or whenever we get into the car, he has to be donned in his make shift football helmet and totes around the football. I need to be on the look out for a better looking football helmet.

I do hope that I will be able to calm this intense lust after sports before he marries and his wife becomes a sports widow. Who knows!!!!
