Flag Football and Character Awards

Saturday was a scorcher for Joshua's football game! It was 102 degrees with lots of humidity, and pretty much unbearable in the shade! The team played hard and drank lots of water and they won the game. They are still undefeated for the season! Looks like they will be playing in the championship game in two weeks! Joshua is the smallest and least experienced member of his team, but he is having a GREAT time and absolutely loves playing football! He is definitely practicing very hard and gets better each week. Mom is just greatful for the concept of flag football that allows Joshua to live his dream without being killed! Here he is attempting to "sack" the quarterback.





Today, Joshua received a character award at school. One boy and one girl were chosen from each class for representing the core values of respect, responsibility, and honesty. He is in a center-based gifted (CBG) school with kids who come from 10 different elementary schools all over the county, so we thought it was funny that Joshua and Sydney were chosen. They are the only two people in his class who came to the CBG program from his old elementary school! Joshua and Sydney have been friends since we moved here last year. They are in school and on swim team together.
