SMITH STEELERS!

Eli got to be one of the lucky young ones to be on Coach Rodney's flag football team. They were in it to win it. It was his first time getting a play book full of plays that he needed to memorize. Eli would be a killer at practices but then when it came to game time and he would get the ball he would get a little nervous and not be as strong as in practices. It was good for him to not be top dog, but a little sad to watch him lose some of his confidence. The team did great though - they were undefeated and won the championship - which was a pretty intense game - I think so parents were about to brawl - I might have had to jump in just for the fun of it! They got 2 trophies, a shirt and a medal - he was pretty stoked about it all! Coach Rodney loved working with Eli though - all his coaches do - he is such a good listener and tries so hard - everyone loves him :)

Eli asked for the first time to have a headband and the tall socks like the other boys - of course we were happy to indulge him in his cuteness!
