My boys have done so well this week with their Sporting passions
A little while ago Thomas was asked to help out at a Football Tournament, his friend invited him to go as his team mate was not able to play and they needed an extra player. When Thomas got there, he was actually asked to play for a completely different team that went on to win the whole tournament, so he was very happy !!!! At the end of the day the Coach asked Thomas for his phone number.
This week he had a call from the Coach to say they wanted Thomas back in the team permanently. He has even got a small contract saying he wants to be in the team. he is really pleased.
If you knew my Thomas, he is a confident but extremely laid back 14 year old who takes life pretty much how it comes and you rarely see him getting over excited about anything. If he wants you to know he is happy about anything, the usual response is the one word "Cool !!!" Well when the contract came in the post which looks pretty basic and un complicated, we had a "Thats so cool !!!" So I think he is pretty ecstatic LOL
Yesterday Daniel was in a local schools Basketball tournament, he was very keen and very excited, Daniel is the complete opposite to Thomas, he refuses to use one word answers when 150 words will do (can't think where he gets that from
) so all week I have heard just about every detail of how he was going to play, who was in the team, how excited he was...................
I collected him from school last night and he was thrilled to tell me that his team came 2nd in the tournament, but the best news for him was that he was given a certificate by the organisers as being "The most valued player of the tournament!!!"
Have you any idea what it does to the confidence of a child like my Daniel to be linked to the word "Valued" I believe he has grown an extra foot with how high he is holding his head up. I could not have written a better script for him.
What an awesome word "VALUED" One of the biggest confidence boosters in the English Dictionary .
So here is one very proud Mum of her two boys
