To be 8 and innocent again....

Sam - Dad, do girls play pro football?  Dad - Yes, they play in the LFL.
Sam - Really?? What does LFL stand for?
Dad - Lingerie Football League
Sam - (after few second of silence) Dad, what is lingerie?
Dad - It's girl's underwear
Sam - (speechless) then finally is able to mutter "You mean they seriously play in their underwear?"

Ah, the age of innocence. The look on Sam's face was absolutely priceless. 

I couldn't resist showing him pictures of the girls "uniforms". His only comment was "Mom, that is inappropriate!" (Score one for mom!!)

I think that Sam will stick to playing with the boys!  His team did very well this year, finishing with one loss during the regular season, and then they lost their second game of the year in the playoff championship game.  Still, an amazing season! Dan had a blast coaching Sam's team too - not sure what he will do when he has to sit up in the stands someday with us "regular" folk!!

Sam seemed to really "get" tackle football this year and enjoyed the hard-hitting game. He played defensive end or tackle on defense and center on offense. Being that he sometimes handled the kick-off duties and was on the receiving team for kick-offs, there were some games when he play the whole game without a rest.  His endurance has certainly improved, and he didn't complain once about not getting a rest. So fun to see him so into the game that he didn't realize he was tired or thirsty. My boy is sure growing up! Here are some pics from the season:
