- After getting his lights knocked out...Yes, it hurt. I cried but once I got to the huddle I was fine.
- I want to wear my team t-shirt again. It let's everyone know I'm on a team and I'm good.
- I will keep pushing them till they fall down and stay down.
I want to play hard so we can make it to the Superbowl
I have been listening to Lil' Buster this past week and really listening to what he says about pee wee football. I am stunned to find most of the things he says I can apply to myself. I am finding great joy in Lil' Buster finding this little athlete within himself.
I was never an athlete, and you know if you read my blog enough I still have a hard time thinking I am one now. Let's face it, I spent most of my teenage years making sure I was at the right party with the right outfit, or pumping the keg if that counts as a sport. I never understood, or better said took for granted all the athletic kids in school. I now realize how at a young age they were athletes enjoying the benefits of pushing their bodys to a limit. I look back now and wish I would have tapped into this athletic being that I have now discovered, but always better late than never.
So, thanks Lil' Buster for teaching your ol' Mom a few things about this athletic stuff. I promise to be nothing but the support and driving force behind the athlete in you.I want to train hard and smart to make it to my Superbowl.

What a wise little guy you have! I love those phrases!
I love this post! I imagine Buster watching you be an athlete, and learning from your experience. What a good mom and model you are.
Out of the mouth of babes...
I like how you reframed his words to apply to yourself. :-)
Smart kid you've got there. Probably a sign of great parenting. :o)
I hope your little man makes it to his superbowl. I am sure he gets a lot of his spirit from his awesome mom.
The kids are such great motivation...
You mean pumping the keg isn't athletic? Not even for a girl?
Kids are so smart and really make you think! Too cute!
I like "I will keep pushing until they fall down and STAY down"! Nice.
:) My 12 year old last week taught me to not be a snob! Ouch....
Sometimes the wise advice comes from the little bodies.
I hear you on the ex-boyfriends. I went back to my 12 today too. A-hole. Why can't I just leave him?!
I like the post...
Great post! It's amazing how insightful our kids can be. :-) It was great seeing you!
Viv he is SOOOOO YOU! It's funny that you say that you learn things from him because I could SOOOOOO see you saying all those things (if you were his age) ;-)
Wow, Viv. I need to get motivated like you. This week I'm focusing on my 1/2 mary training schedule and maybe getting in a spin and/or body pump class in on XT days.
Also, I like wearing my tri shirts at the gym. Kinda like saying hey you, skinny mini over there. Did you swim, bike, run and almost puke at a finish line? No, then get your ass out of my pool lane, thanks.
It's good L'il Buster is helping you realize you ARE an athlete :-)
Love it!
I love how they have no limits when they're young. My son still plans to be a pro football player when he grows up.
Me, I think I sometimes set myself up for failure when I think about what my limits are.
Ah, out of the mouth of babes, eh? I love how your son inspires you. As far as being an athlete, better late than never!
