Wrestling

Last week Connor started wrestling...against my better judgement! Last year when the flier for PREK wrestling came home in his folder, I quickly through it out before Ben had a chance to see it. This year, the one time that Ben looked in Connor's folder, just happened to be the day the wrestling flier was sent home. And Ben was so excited he signed him right up. I decided this was going to be a Ben and Connor thing so I sent the 2 of them to the first informational meeting together....apparently that was not a smart move. He came home from the meeting SO excited (Ben that is!), but when I asked him when they started, what time it started, what days it was on, what he needed....you know, all those questions you usually get answers to, he had no idea. He even said that they had a piece of paper with all the information on it and he didn't grab one. Really, you just admitted to me that not only did you not retain any of the information from the meeting, but you also didn't grab the cheat sheet that they made for guys just like you who don't retain the information? Smart, real smart. So he calls his friend who has a son in wrestling, to ask when it starts...you know all those questions that are necessary. So he gets the dates and times and all that stuff and they show up for the first practice. When they come home I ask how it went and he says, Connor's practice doesn't start til next month, just the older kids started now. Nice job! So fast forward and he makes it to his first actual practice (last week). At which point Ben now believes they have practice 2 nights a week. So they go the next night for practice again, and guess what, it's just the big kids that have practice 2 nights a week. Now really, how many times can we show up at the wrong time/day. I think he's finally got it figured out, but everynight now I have to ask him, "Are you sure there is not wrestling practice tonight?"



Anyway, Connor actually really likes wrestling and is doing really well! Ben put together a little video of his practice the other night. It's pretty cute. Video is below, if it doesn't load, try refreshing the page....
