Hooray!

On Saturdays or Sundays it's always fun watching the Bear watch football.

He cheers up a storm.

"Go! Go! Go! GO!" Each word said with increased volume and vigor.

"Free. Two. Won! Go - go -go!"

"Run. Run."

"Catch it! Catch it!"

"Oh! Oh! Gooood job!"

The kid is on fire with cheering. But he has no concept of encouraging any one team. He doesn't care who is on offense or on defense. If he sees a good play, he'll cheer.

That made me think "When do we get so competitive with sports?"

The Bear just sees good plays. Cheers when someone catches an awesome throw. Cheers when there's a touchdown. Cheers when he sees someone make a good run OR a good tackle. He just looks at the positives. He doesn't care about the score.

No. My son isn't in any competitive sports right now. He's got enough running and jumping and swinging and sliding in his schedule at daycare. He doesn't need any additional physical exercise.

But right now? I'm enjoying that he's looking at sports with rose colored glasses. That it's all about the good. This football season has been a BLAST!
