TOUCHDOWN!!!

Landon scored the one touchdown for his team today. They ended up losing 8 to 12 (not bad), but Landon definetely had the play of the game. Landon is the fastest kid on his team and in the league for the matter...he is so fun to watch. Keep in mind Landon is playing in the 5-6th grade league. MANY of the other players are bigger than he is, ok, most of them are. But no one can catch him. 6th graders are played more often than 5th graders to be fair, but Landon plays every minute of every game...they can't do anything without him. He had more yards today than the rest of his team COMBINED. Wait a minute...I think I hear the COLTS calling. They need a running back. It is totally scary to hear the coaches on the other team yelling to their defensive line "Watch number 12! Whatever you do don't let 12 run! Get him down! Drag him down! Don't let 12 out of your sight! I don't care how many guys it takes...get 12 down!" I am always so relieved to see Landon pop up again after 4-5 huge sixth graders get up off of him. As a mother praying for her son's safety I am still pushing Michael Phelps and the pros of swimming, but so far Landon is not taking the bait. I guess it's a battle I can't win.
