Our little football guy

When Ethie was little, he always wanted to play "football guys."  And now he is!

I signed him up for flag football when we moved to Carrollton and it is perfect for him.  He gets to run around and chase and be chased and say "set, hut" and whatever else they do in football.  Only without the tackling, which is also perfect for him right now!

Last Saturday he had his first game in the Carrollton high school stadium, complete with an announcer and everything.  He was in heaven!!!  The kids were pretty confused about what to do most of the time, but Ethie did manage to get one good run in and he was happy with that.  Maybe they will get a little better, but I think he will have fun even if they don't :)
His team (minus a couple).  He's second kid from the right.

They got to run onto the field while the announcer called their name... cute!

Ethie wore his Georgia Tech hat so we could always find him :) 
Lilah little cheerleader!

They taught him to block by holding his hands and using his arms and he didn't forget it!

YAY, Ethie!!!

































And here's a glimpse of how most of the game went... :)
