Baby A is really in his element now that wrestling has started. Every night when I talk to him, he has another funny story from practice, rather funny from his point of view. He said the first day of sparring he was working with another big boy, another lineman who joined the team, and the other boy thought he knew what was up. Since he is the only one with any experience, he has been trying to help train the other boys, he said he refuses to wrestle any girls after breaking the one girls ankle accidentally. Mijo is patient and will show you, until you decide you're ready, then it's go time. The other boy took our monster down and thought this is easy, I got you. Mijo then said "okay, I'll show you what squatting 550 pounds can do." He turned around and stood up with this 250 pound kid on his back and then threw him over his shoulders. He landed with a thud on the ground and then Mijo said I threw my fat ass on top of him, choked him for a second or two and he gave up. He said the other boy submitted and just kind of laughed as he coughed and gagged for breath. This was Tuesday. On Wednesday, he said his close buddy, also a lineman, so think husky kid was sparing with him, and Mijo got him by a leg and lifted it up high to get him off balance, then kicked his other leg out underneath him, he landed on his back and gave a big yell as he lost his breath, but then Baby A said, I jumped on him, choked him a little bit, then he submitted.
This boy of ours just has aggression when he competes. It's good, I just don't want him hurting one of our boys during practice. I liked towards the end of football season, they were working on the third string QB, who might be their new started next year. He was trying to run a play, but he was being real timid (our son says that is his big weakness), Mijo says "I wanted to get him pumped up, so I smacked him on the helmet, grabbed him by the facemask and told him "You got this!"" According to him, it was very helpful, if he didn't concuss the poor kid.
Poor Mijo, his kryptonite is apparently girls. His lineman buddy has a twin sister and she joined the wrestling team as well. He says she keeps coming up to him, punching him in the arm saying come on, I can take you. Wife and I say she is flirting, but she does have a BF, but Mijo says she looks too much like his friend, he can't see her that way, but he also doesn't know what to do since he's scared of hurting her if they do spar. He is having fun and that is the best part of all this. We have the first meet next weekend, so we'll get to see a full team, it will be alot different than last year, when it was just a handful of boys per team.
