Dedication
Almost 8-years later, I am very impressed (and sometimes upset) at how fast my children are becoming independent.
Since Mr. H was young we had always talked to him about playing football, but at the time we moved, the only active sport was basketball, but I never saw as much passion or dedication to the game.
Then along came football, and it was as if a new spirit was kindled in my boy, if we wanted to punish him we threatened not to take him to practice, and he’d cry himself silly and then do what we had asked in the first place lol.
With practice 0.3 miles away from home, he insists on jogging all the way, is already worried about his diet, but we have already nipped that bud, we strive very hard to serve only nutritious, health and filling meals, with plenty of fruits and vegetables in between.
I am proud of his commitment to excel in this sport and be the best he can be, football does run in our family, my first cousin played for Michigan and is now one of the assistant coaches.
My darling diva girl has been nothing but impressive to her coaches, at each practice, she will hug each coach, and smiles so hard it hurts my cheeks, but I can already see the improvement, and left to her she’d attend practices everyday as opposed to twice a week.
Ever since I saw Gregory Hines (RIP) I have been anxious to enroll the kids in tap dance lessons, and August 27th I will be able to sign them both up for tap, in addition to ballet for Ms. H.
