The one where he tells me he wants to try basketball next …

23 Mar

This past Saturday, my middle son had the last flag football game of the season.  He played really well and scored another touchdown for his team.  I’m so proud of him for wanting to play this rough and tough game and feel really lucky to have been able to capture this image of him running after his competition.

He’s expressed an interest in trying out for his middle school football team so even though I know I really shouldn’t, I did.  I found myself daydreaming  on the sidelines … of my boy playing for his college and then the Tampa Bay Bucs or Seattle Seahawks one day in his future.

When the game was over, the first thing he came up and said to me was, “Mum, I think I want to try basketball next.”

A mummy can dream, right?
