Flag Football!!

Yesterday was Xander's 1st Flag Football Game! He was so excited! He's been wanting to try football for a while now, but I think tackle football is a hideous idea for kids younger than like junior high, when they can better know when it's okay to tackle and not. Or when they can control their anger a little bit better. But, ANYWAYS... Smithfield Rec started Flag Football this year so I was willing to let Xan try that out. For the first few plays, he'd block his people then just kind of stand there wondering what he should do. But, if you know Xander, you know it only takes a minute for him to really grasp anything!! We finally got a new camera, so here's a few pictures and a quick video clip of his nice moves. (It's funny to watch. Once he realizes what to do, it takes no effort on his part to pull the flags off.)
