First off, let me say that I am opposed to wrestling as a sport, and refused to even consider a child of mine being involved with it. (I don't think a sport should be centered around the weight of a person...Wrestlers have to make weight by either sweating it off, skipping meals, or going on a binging spree...Whew! With that off my chest, I shall continue with this post)
Anyway, Matt conspired against me.
Matt and Bennett came home from home teaching a family last Sunday. The man was helping with a wrestling clinic and his little boy and girl were doing it. So of course Bennett was excited about the prospect of being involved even before he got home. The rest of the night Bennett couldn't even look at me without begging to go wrestle the next day. He's good at the begging thing because I caved. Quickly.
However, Bennett really enjoyed the practices.
And all day today I heard Bennett talking about the medal he was going to get. He would even pantomime how he was going to hold his medal out for pictures.
(I like in the picture above. Bennett's opponent is pausing for a moment to strike a pose for my camera as he's taking down my boy. Also in most of the pictures Bennett is smiling. He enjoyed himself even when being taken down) Bennett did an excellent job! Even though he was the youngest boy out there, he held his own.
At the end...all that really mattered was that he made some good friends, had fun, and got a medal for good effort.
These two other boys are in our ward and Bennett got to wrestle both of them. They all had a great time.

That is one of the cutest little boys...He looks like he had a lot of fun! Tell him to make sure he brings his medal to show off to everyone when he comes up!
