Football spring practices started yesterday. Cameron had been being bounced back and forth between JV 1 and JV 2 during the previous practice sessions with his official placement being listed on JV 2. He plays middle linebacker. Yesterday was the first day of practice in full pads... Cameron came home yesterday quite pleased with how well he did. He said "Mom, I hit the starting QB really hard and hurt him." (Just some clarification - Hurt another player is a good thing, injury another play is a bad thing.) I asked him if he is supposed to be hitting the QB like that right now. He said he isn't wearing a different colored jersey (more clarification - if he was it would mean go lighter on the hits) and as long as he isn't then I am going all out.. I asked, What did your coach say? He said great hit...but the QB coach didn't like it. ;)
Today I get call from Cameron..."Mom, I got moved up to JV 1 today." (insert big toothy grin on Cameron's face - and YES, I could hear it through the phone). What a happy Laxton boy...

That is fantastic. He works hard and is good, he deserves it.

YAY! Oh do I know how that all goes... and how happy it makes your boy when he does something like that. Mine plays on the line and last year he grew himself out of his position in the middle of the season and got his starting spot given to a (let's say "larger" boy) and so he's had to work at new positions for this coming year. He used to be short and chunky and he shot up to almost 6 ft and thinned right up during the season. Not the best time to grow but it was gonna happen at some point so you just work with it, right? lol Anyway, it's always so nice to hear they are doing well, huh?! Makes a mom smile! And I totally get that hurt/injury thing! Anyway, CONGRATS CAMERON!
Keep up the good work!
