January thru March
Romney and Braxtin decided they really wanted to do wrestling this season, so we signed them up. At the first practice the coaches handed out the signlets and when Brax tried his on he said, "Do I really have to wear this? Can't I wear a shirt under it?" It was cute.
Salina is really into wrestling, which makes it great for the kids. They had practice three nights a week and tournaments on Saturdays. We took them to three tournaments, one in Salina, Richfield and Gunnison. We didn't want to travel too far out of the way for them. The boys had a blast.
If you know Romney you know that he was all smiles even after losing a match!! I think that is good though, there were some kids who were just devastated after losing a match and at this age is should just be about having fun. I was surprised to see how serious some parents can get about sports with these young kids.
We were really glad that Romney wanted to do wrestling. We thought it would be a good opportunity for him to toughen up a bit and much to our surprise he never once cried during or after a match!! Yeah Romney!!! We all know Brax is a tough nut anyways and he was really aggressive during all his matches, he just kept forgetting that once you get the other kid on their back hold them there. It was a good learning experience for all of us and I think they will want to do it again next year.
Now it's almost time to start baseball. . .
