My 9yo, Goblin 2, has signed up for football. Not only signed up, but is fully committed... and so is my debit card.
Tryouts were Thursday... Yes, he is wearing a pink t-shirt that says Tough Guys wear pink. He picked it out and I wasn't even there!
I went shopping for football pants - not realizing the complicated understructures. I just toddled into Academy Sports and went looking around the clothing department. There was much more to it. When my husband said "cup" - I mentally checked out. I told him he could take the boy shopping for that. So I picked out some girdle thing, a really neat mouthguard (fashion meets function) and something else that I can't remember.
Today we found out that Goblin is on "The Ravens" and needs black football pants... so I typed the address for Athletic Village in the GPS and began the journey. I so wished a man was there to help me, but just me hoping strangers in OKC would help me. They confused me, but were helpful. I scored all-in-one black game pants and grey practice pants.
Meanwhile, Goblin 2 was fitted for his equipment and bought a cup with his Dad's help. PHEW!
I have decided not to focus on all that could go wrong, instead I am focusing on all of the events I will have to scrapbook: first practice, first game, first broken bone, first concussion. The possibilities are endless!
Hugs and Kisses!
hilarious! am dreading even the THOUGHT of puberty with the boys.
