Little Wrestlers

Payton has been enjoying his Tuesday and Thursday nights lately by going to Wrestling Practice. He looks forward to going but his dad just dreads it. Payton really doesn't get the concept of how to win (probably because we're too cheap to pay to go to the tournaments yet) but he loves to run around with his cousin, Luke, on the mats. If nothing else it's excercise for the boy. I took a little footage at last nights practice. For some reason when Todd's there trying to help Payton finds some reason to cry. If Luke would just stop stepping on his fingers or squishing his guts out I'm sure there would be no reason for the tears. Darn Wright boys!

I thought I should add this quick blurb of Tanner. I missed the action shot but they were teaching them to distract their opponent by tapping them on the side of the head before they shoot for their legs. Tanner made a major distraction by Whacking his opponent on the side of the head. At least he got his attention. I'll have to work on my video footage but until we go to a tournament I'm afraid this might be as good as it gets.

Cool! Payton will probably teach Porter and his little sis something later on! You'll have 3 awesome little fighters.

How fun to have this teaching opportunity at such a young age. Looks like trouble brewing at home down the road! Hey, how did Rick's boy do with wrestling? You might be able to predict the future if you just look at the past you know.

I loved the move that Tanner made, I might try that on someone. Jase loved watching the boys wrestle. He asked what it was called. He thought it was karate. Hopefully he doesn't get any ideas!
