So on Saturday it became very clear to me why I was trying to get Thomas to play something besides football - they play in rain, snow, or sunshine. Baseball - it rains, you delay the game. Soccer, it rains - you delay the game. Football - it rains - it's 35 degrees - THE GAME MUST GO ON!! I have not been that cold for a very long time. I thought we were going to miss the rain and have to deal with just the cold - but no - 15 minutes into the game the downpour began. I was very glad to have remembered our umbrellas and our VERY WARM outdoor ware - because we needed it. But, again, even with saying that - it was so fun to watch. Yes, our little team can be compared to "The Bad News Bears" but they sure try hard and they have lots of fun - after all, that is what counts! I decided with all of this that I am not a quiet sports mom - I like to yell...a lot! ( A trait I can say that I definitely got from my mom.) You have to cheer these little guys on - they need to know they have support out there - even when the weather stinks. I should give a big nod to my parents and to Andrew's mom - they all showed up for his 8:00 am game (who has games at 8 - please!!!) in the freezing rain. Ahh - the joys of parenthood!!
