wrestling...

On Feb 16 Cael and Gavyn started wrestling for the first time (so did Wyatt & Casey). It took them a couple of practices before they would even go out on the mat, but after a while they warmed up to the idea and now Cael is obsessed. We had to go buy him the shoe's and shorts so he would "look like the other kids" and he asks repetitively "when is it wrestling?". Gavyn warmed up after I took him for a walk and promised to buy him anything he wanted if he would just go on the mat and try it. He agreed and said " I wike dragons..... pink ones." I now am on the look for one to keep up my end of the bargain. Cael's favorite moves are the bulldozer (push-over), duck walk (walking on your knees), and of coarse the take down, which he has gotten really good at. We were only going to put him in 1-2 tournaments but ended up not doing any of them due to him not feeling good on the morning of. Over all he had a good time and it gave him something to look forward to. It was the best $20 dollars we've spent in a long time- what else costs $20 for 2 nights a week for 8 weeks and your child comes home exhausted?
