Monday Night Lights

Last night was Nate's first flag football game! This is his first year playing flag football, and we were lucky enough to get him on our neighbor, Evers, team as a "free agent." (Sidenote: Football is INSANE here. If you don't start at 5 years old, you are way behind and have a hard time getting on a good team. Crazy!)

Regardless, he was happy to be on the Titans with Evers, and has been enjoying practices the past few weeks. There is an offensive & defensive coach, and when picking positions, they both wanted Nate! (Probably because he is fast & has a lot of endurance.) So, he literally played the WHOLE game !!

He was so excited to have his name on his jersey! First time for that!

Before the game, I told him to do his best. We were playing the *best* team in the league, so we knew it would be a rough game. Nate really hustled and went for those flags when he was playing defense. I encouraged him to not be afraid to dive, and he took that advice! I was really proud of his effort.

Working hard!

By the end of the game, he finally got more comfortable on offense. Hopefully later this season, he can catch a pass/run for a touchdown! #babysteps

I was hassling him after the game for a picture, but the poor guy was just trying to drink some of his water bottle! He was exhausted from playing the whole game!

We played against his buddy, Mason.
