He's only 9

For those of you who dont know, M goes to Velocity a few times a week for agility training and exercise.  First, we cant say enough good things about the Velocity program, second M loves it.  He has a great time and gets a lot out of it.  Even gets upset when for whatever reason we cant make it

For a LONG TIME he has been doing the "youth" program but he has been getting bored with it and bored with waiting on the smaller/younger kids in the groups to catch up to him.  He has been bugging the coaches to be moved up to the next class level.

Well one day we show up and he is on the only kid in the youth class and he asked about moving up again.  The Coach says, "how old is he"  I answer 9,  then, "when will he turn 10"  I answer September...  

HMM

Finally the coach says he can try it that day and see what he thinks.  M runs off to join the D1 group and the coach states as a fact "he will want to go back to the youth class after a day of working hard with them"  lets back up a second and say that D1 is for 12-14 year olds.....

Of course the coach was totally wrong.  M totally loves it and has now been officially moved up to the D1 class, so now here we are at Velocity again in the D1 class.

funny thing is.

He is kind of hard to pick out in the picture, because he is the same size as all these 12-14 year old boys. Seems like only yesterday he was but a small baby in my arms....

(if you look close he is on the right in a gray shirt)

Next thing you know he is going to be bigger than all of us, and a lineman on a football team!  (god help us)
