So, Scott would like Blake to grow up to be a swimmer and I want him to play soccer. Both are great sports and not real hard on the body, as football would be. I think our friends were a little surprised that we don't intent to let Blake play football. First of all, I don't think he's going to be a real big kid, considering we can't seem to get him out of the 25th percentile for weight and height. Secondly, you can have life long issues after being hit the wrong way. In my opinion, a quality sport helps improve you physically, it doesn't hurt you. There was a guy in college I knew that made himself eat so much every day that he'd feel kind of sick. This was a normal thing for him b/c he wanted to keep up his weight. So, we have a sport that can harm you and teach you extremely poor eating habits. This is exactly opposite of what most sports should be doing for you. So there. Yes, we do not plan to let Blake play football. I've said it. We are terrible parents. :)

| Blake longing to go play soccer with the neighbor boys--that's my boy!!! |

| Longing...once he saw them playing, he'd bolt for the window and stare at them for quite a while. They were out there a couple times and he did this each time. The funny thing was that one time, the boy looked at him, and put his finger to his nose making a pig face. When he saw me, he stopped. I believe Blake was doing his "door face" (see previous post). :) |
