Easton has been in wrestling for a while now. He had about 6 matches. He finally won his first match on Tuesday. He wrestled so well! It was the best he had done ever. He was really aggressive and took control of the match. I was really proud of him. He was also very excited and proud of himself! : )
Then Friday night he had the big tournament with all the schools. There were so many people there. They had grades K-6 wrestling. And, within each grade there were several weight classes. Easton is in 1st and weighs 45 pounds. So, they started with kindergarten and went up through 6th for Round 1. Then Round 2 they did the same. Needless to say, it was a long time in between matches. And, to make it worse, Easton ended up with two byes. Then both of the matches he had he lost. But, he tried so hard and never gave up. I was so proud of him. I know that he was a bit disappointed on his first loss.
The second match he was able to wrestle a friend of his from his class in school. He was all smiles that match. He lost, but was happy for his friend and genuinely had a great time!
So, we were there 4 hours and he wrestled twice for a total of about 6 minutes! ;) Fortunately, Dave's mom watched the girls for us. She took them to McDonald's and let them watch a movie. So, that was nice for them and us. They wouldn't have had fun there and we wouldn't have had fun with them there probably! :) It was really nice to have some alone time with just our son. I am proud of him. He is ready to start a new season in February. He has the fever!!
