"A star is born"...so says his Dad!`

CARSON'S STATS:

AGE: 6 (7, IN MARCH)

HEIGHT: 4' 1"

WEIGHT: 55 POUNDS

POSITION: ALL, BUT HIS FAVORITE
IS RUNNING BACK ("BECAUSE YOU
GET TO RUN A LOT")






In his first ever pass as a quarterback, Carson threw a dart to his
teammate, Isaiah, who scampered into the end zone for a 35 yard score.
League sources say that might be a record for the 5-6 year old flag
football league since they play on a 40 yard field! Carson took a
sweep to the left side to complete the two point conversion. He also
reversed fields later in the game on a critical third and long, adding
20 yards to his rushing total. Dad was quite proud of these feats and
has already sent film to Bronco Mendenhall.

(***Mom was taping while babysitting, so that is the excuse for the poor video. You can expect many more low-quality home videos of Carson's football days to be posted later.)

Carson had his second game two weeks later and followed up his debut with a sustained touchdown drive in his only turn at quarterback. The drive included a clutch 3rd down pass. His two completions on three attempts for a touchdown lead the league by a long shot. I think he might have more completions than the rest of the league combined! As you can imagine, most yards in this league are gained on the ground. Carson also got into the action on defense making a tackle (flag pull) behind the line of scrimmage and by blowing up another critical play late in the game. What a stud!

Maybe obsessed?

Any time I look away, Deegan is on the Wii. When I mentioned previously that my kids love Super Mario Bros., I don't think that Deegan had really had any time to play this game on his own. He sneaks and plays forever...sun up to sun down if I let him! Routinely, I walk up the stairs and he has the volume turned down all the way (FYI Deegan: the remotes still makes sounds!) and as soon as he sees or hears me, he runs and turns off the tv and turns to just stare at me with the remote right there in his hand. I may not be a genius, but I am not stupid!

He's been grounded from the Wii for his disobedience and...let's call them "reactions" to my pleadings. I have hidden the remotes in my room and finally had to put them at the top of my closet. Shockingly, he was able to climb and get them down anyway, so I changed the location in my closet thinking that without anything to climb on I had beaten him at his own game. Let's just say that unless I can lock this stuff behind closed doors or duct tape it to the ceiling, nothing will stop him!

He dumped out my rubbermaids and made his own stairs right up to the stash! He is very clever and I am learning EVERY day that he is smarter than any of us have given him credit for! It's a good thing this kiddo is a cute one!
