My life revolves around my kids. There is really nothing (except work) that I prioritize over my boys and the days are filled with their interest, toys, television shows and music. My interests are reserved for working hours or after the kids' bedtimes. I'm not claiming to be perfect...I can sneak in a few Facebook checks here and there, but nothing that requires any significant time or attention.
Last football season, I remember wanting to watch a few Bronco games but the kids would never let me watch for longer than 2 minutes. This season, I have managed to watch the majority of a couple games and I'm LOVING IT.
Then today, Owen took it to another level when he actually got into watching the game with me! The day I get to sit down on the couch with my boys with a big pan of nachos and loud couch refereeing will be my nirvana. But today, Owen got one step closer to that ultimate goal by getting fairly interested in the game. He reminded me that he would prefer if I don't scream too loud and scare him. He pretended to tackle his stuffed animals and ran around the room like a football player. Then at one point, he disappeared into the garage and came back wearing his "football helmet" and carrying his football. It made me so happy! He's staring to "get it" but more importantly, like it! He tossed the football around with Nana for awhile and then Nana tagged him in the face with the ball. He looked a little dazed and then as any sport minded kid would do, he problem solved. He decided to use Bunny as a face mask. The obvious choice in this situation, right? He had a helmet...but not a face mask. He had a bunny...problem solved!
