Wrestling

So tyler started little league wrestling a few weeks ago. He loves going to the practices and last week was his first match. The poor kid didn't know what to expect from a real match, we had never taken him to one before, and for all he knew he was just going to mess around and have fun like they do at practice. Well, he was wrong. Some of the kids and parents are TOTALLY in to this. There were parents screaming, kids upset if they didn't get first place,it was kind of crazy. Needless to say,he didn't do so well. He wrestled two different kids. And lost both times. I was pretty proud of him for not giving up,though. He went all three rounds with one of the kids and only lost by two points. He did still get a medal though, so it turned out o.k. for him. He was so proud of his medal he wanted to wear it to bed that night. Weird. Hopefully his next match will go better.

Ty's the one in the white shirt. (A four year old in a singlet and wresling shoes? Seriously?)

His awesome medal
