Wrestling and the Last of My Birthday

Well March is an awesome month to be born in, I think the best really. I know lots of folks who are born in March and they are just as awesome as myself. Now those who are saying “Hey, I’m awesome and I am not born in March”. The first two sentences were not about you were they? It’s all about me and March Babes like me.
Spent my actual Birthday at Cole’s first wrestling tournament, then headed North to Sherwood to celebrate with Awesome Betsy. She turned the big 40! We had a very good time and met lots of new folks. Then this past weekend another BASH of Awesome March folks at the coast for a night. That’s right! Lots of March Coolness going on! These women are great friends from my very first softball team and we still get together for laughing, drinking and just being loud! Two other Awesome March Chicks in this group, one who turned 50 and another who is a tad older than that! My belly almost hurt the next morning I had laughed so hard with them.

We spent another Saturday watching Cole wrestle. It was an extremely LONNNNNGGGG day with two different types of wrestling at this tournament. We are new to this but are learning quickly that when you wrestle don’t make any other plans for that day.
Cole did awesome again and just had a blast wrestling for points. He even got a pin in one of his matches! Though I must say that he really does not “get” all the point stuff yet or who wins what but he is getting there.
Coach Rich is great! He has taken the time to coach all the kids that show up from his school no matter how young or old. He gets the boys all pumped up and smiling and Cole really listens to his coaching while in the match.
After each match the kid who wins has to sign the score sheet. Our first tournament they didn’t have Cole sign anything but this week Rich had him sign his name. (Momma moment thinking this was cool)

Cole placed second this week and got yet another medal! He again wore the medal to school, not just the new one but both to show them off to his friends! He is just having a ball with this new sport!

Like I said, it was a very long day, but we all had a good time. There was a courtyard right outside the door we were sitting next to and Jo spent most of her time playing with other kids. She was so happy being outside in the sun, running, playing tag and hide n seak. She did come in for each of Cole’s matches but then bolted right back out the door. Happy Girl!
