13, 16 and 1, how did time fly so fast?
The 13 would be for my “baby” who decidedly isn’t (and is now, gasp gulp SHRIEK…a teenager)! The 16-1 is for his regular wrestling season record…and the one he lost was because he made mistakes against a kid who knew what to do (Eli has beat the other kid twice in other meets). Next week is regionals, and it looks like Eli will probably be the number 1 seed in our class for Eastern Regionals (Maine) / Middle School Wrestling. WOOT!
Here’s Eli in his first match:
And pinning the next boy (sorry it is blurry…this stuff happens fast and the camera didn’t fully focus…sorta like me a lot of the time)
And, drum roll, opening his b-day gift:
At this point my “baby” is now all of 1/4″ shorter than I am, and I expect by summer I’ll be the shorter of us two….. he’s such a wonderful kid, and we are so blessed to have him!
