Gettin' in the game.

Layton had a football function in Corvallis today, and we spent almost the entire day there.
It was so fun watching him, and seeing how much he enjoys (and LOVES) the game already.
The high-light of the afternoon was when he scored his first TOUCHDOWN!
It was a pretty proud moment.
The person sitting beside me goes, "I take it that's your boy?" as he laughed.
Hmm, I wonder what gave it away?
The not-so-fun part of the event was when he took his first HARD hit that hurt him.
Layton is known to be pretty tough, but we were up against a team that had kids that were twice his size.
That mixed in with their 'over-agressive' attitudes only lead to hard hits for the kids, and frustration for us parents.
But, after a good cry, and some gatorade he was ready to go back in.
I noticed tonight that his arms are covered in bruises, and he was complaining of his jaw hurting.
(I'm pretty sure that has something to do with the constant head pounding he received today.)
But, he just popped an ibuprofin, and then asked when his next practice was.
Something tells me that he is going to do just fine this season.
