day three

Today is day 3 of football practice.  We are all hoping that today goes better than yesterday.  Alex was supposed to start wearing his helmet to practice yesterday, and that just didn't happen.  He wouldn't put it on or go on the field.  It was quite embarassing.  We ended up leaving without him practicing.  We thought about just giving up but then we decided we're not going to let Alex quit.  He signed up for this, and he's going to finish.  If he still doesn't like it at the end of the season, then he just won't have to play again.  We've tried everything we know of to get him out on the field in his helmet today.  He did put it on this morning, so I'm hoping he'll put it on again this afternoon and run out on that field like he's ready to play.  I know he is; he just needs to get out there and do it!  Today it's just me and him going to practice and I hope that helps.  I'm planning to have some good news this evening and maybe some pictures.  Gotta get Alex fired up for football.  He is a Bulldog,  it's time to act like one!
