We have also had an action packed few months trying to get the two boys to footy on the weekends that Ian is working, but we've managed to work it out with the help of other parents. Both boys love their footy, but Jake has really be trying extra hard to do well. He is one of the smallest kids in his team and skinny too, which doesn't help. But his coach has been great, giving him heaps of encouragement and last week he got the "Red Hot Go" Award for his efforts. Each child gets acknowledged during the year and Jake was wrapped to get his after a great game he played. He has also been nominated as team captain twice which is great for his self-esteem and he scored two goals that match so he was a very happy boy. Ben is one of the youngest on his team and you can tell, but he loves it and does a great job skipping around the ground and hopping like a kangaroo when the play is at the other end of the pitch. He is still hoping to get at least one goal this season....
