A Day of Firsts


Ethan had his first football practice today for flag football. He had a great time and learned a lot in the short hour. He didn't even look up at the airplane that flew over because he was so interested in practice. Ethan practiced throwing and catching a lot and even caught his first pass! There are a lot of rules to learn though so we will be working hard on that. One of the rules is that every child has to play every position so that should be fun to watch.


Here is a video of Ethan catching his first pass!


So, the other first happened while we were in Kroger after practice. We all know Ethan has been in kindergarten now for almost three weeks. He is doing well, learning and enjoying it very much. Well, he has officially read his first word! (besides the little ones that he has obviously memorized). We were walking through the back of Kroger and he kept looking up and saying "bah" "bah" "bee" "bee" "beer"! Beer! It is totally fitting that he was reading the big neon sign over the beer section that said "beer". But he read it and that is all that matters, right? Are we warping our child by living in a college town?


So here are some pictures of the days activities.





Is he a Quarterback?



Is he a Receiver?

He's ready for some football!

Tabitha has now decided that Mulan is her favorite dress up outfit now. Mainly because it is pink and not itchy!

Well OF COURSE he can catch a football - he's been practicing since he was 6 months old:-) We need to see Tabitha's SHOES in the next dressup picture. Granny&Grandad
