Conner has been waiting for this day for at least 5 years. Since he's almost 6, that's a really long time. He has done his share of following around his big brothers to their sports practices, games, and events. He always has asked, "Why can't I play too?"
Today was his big day, and he went to his first practice for Upward Football. When I asked him to go and get ready for practice, I had no idea he would come out with a full uniform, including a Tom Brady jersey, Dallas Cowboy pants, complete with a sports bag packed with a mouthpiece, football gloves, and a Capri Sun. Did I mention that he's only 5, going on 13?


He came home immediately and tore open his Upwards uniform to admire, AND put his Upwards magnet on the fridge. I'm pretty sure I know what he'll be wearing every day for the next few months.
