Garrett:
Garrett says he loves wrestling. I'm not sure whether this is an actual love, or if he 'loves' it because he knows it was dad's sport. Whatever the case, this spring, like the two before he has eagerly requested to participate. He continues to get better, learning moves and starting to get a feel for he sport. By my count, he is 6-0 this year. It's hard to prove this because the volunteer referees and scorekeepers are often clueless. Nevertheless its a lot of fun--of course if you are taking pictures of him while he wrestles there's an equal chance he'll concentrate on the match as mug for the camera--we'll blame mom for that.
Mathew:
If Garrett loves wrestling because of his dad, Matthew loves it because of his brother. This is his first foray into the sport. He says he loves matches but doesn't really care for practices. I think he's 4-2 on the year. Although often what transpires between 4-5 year-olds can hardly be classified as wrestling. It's more like entangled spinning or aggressive dancing. Still, as the season has progressed, Matthew has started to figure out the objectives of the sport. Last match he even tried a half-nelson. YAY Matthew, we're so proud of you.
