This morning we signed D up for football. Tackle football. He is incredibly excited and I have mixed emotions. I detest most of those football guys, but it may be a good experience for him. His coach seemed like a nice guy from the short time we talked to him. I really did everything I could to steer D away from football and towards soccer. Unfortunately, his soccer team has been a bit of a dud. They lose all the time, don't work very well as a team, most of the kids are kinda lumps and generally don't work very hard when they bother to show up at all. Not much competition for the shiny allure of *FOOTBALL* - with all its macho gear and toughness. I don't know if D is up for all the work involved, though. He is the kid who always cuts corners when running laps. Maybe he will be motivated for this, though, since he has been asking to play since I got him.
