is mightier than the hand.isn't that how that goes? ;)
tonight, cam asked if he could tape his hockey stick. he initially asked when i had him at practice, and i had said that daddy really is the *better choice* to do that with. so, once we got home, he was focused on gettin' it done with daddy. his pride was unreal. he was so excited that he did it all himself. he beamed, and asked if he could bring the stick upstairs with him to bed. i of course, had some questions for him.
why the tape over the tip? because that's how Ovechkin does it (NHL player he digs a little bit)
why the american flag stripe down the center? because the puck needs a target.
why did you want to do it yourself? because i can.
sure, kiddo, you can bring your stick upstairs.
apparently, he and his stick really made a connection this weekend. (not that he hasn't had that chance before this weekend .... he's been with it for quite some time) he sure had enough time to do so, however, with the 6 games (no, that was NOT a typo.) he had in the last 4 days. he had a tournament, and one of his regualr league games to attend this weekend. he played awesome in every single one. and that "sword" was mighty - he had the only goals and an assist in the tourney! and then topped it all off with a practice tonight where he skated his little tail around the ice.
the kid's addicted. in a really, really good way, though. he has his head on straight about it, and just wants to play. we are so proud.
tonight, he is sleeping very, very well, and that - *that* - is always a very good thing.

LOL, Karin - considering that I'm sure I remember pictures of him playing hockey when he was...what? 3? or even 2? ...I'm not at all surprised that he's addicted. ;) Glad to read that his love for the game is maturing as well as he is.
My own Sun just went to bed (it's midnight) after complaining of a headache (first time ever) and crawling into bed, and then sleeping, from about 6 pm until close to 11 pm. Woke up for some food, and now he's back to sleep. Feelin' better, though, at least.
