Growing up in a house of girls we had plenty of squabbles, but no full on wrestling matches. The sport is quite new and foreign to me. So when Hudson was so excited to try it out we obliged. There were 2 little practices leading up to a match. When we walked into the gym for the match I couldn't believe how many little guys were sporting around those nasty unitards, headgear, and wrestling shoes. But never mind looking the part, Hudson is strong and I figured he'd hold his own. . .Until he was paired up with a kid outweighing him by 20 lbs. It was horrible to watch. Similar to when Hudson and Dalanie get rough housing. I break it up immediately because the weight difference is just dangerous. Well, that was our introduction to wrestling and it was not fun for this mom to watch.
But Hudson remembers what coach says, "You never loose unless you quit trying." So I guess he's headed back to practice. But I'm still not buying one of those uniforms.

Would you buy him one if you called it a 'singlet'? Haha! Oh man. Wrestling.
I went to one wrestling matching in my high school days and found it oddly fascinating. Who knew there was so much to it? All the boys running around the indoor track in their sweat suits with their hoods up sort of turn me off to it though.
The sport of wrestling is just weird. I'm sorry you had to watch that and it looks like you'll be watching a lot more! Guess these are just things moms have to do!
Good for Hudson for trying this out!! :) I heard that several kids at this meet probably started wrestling before the got out of diapers! Sounds like the competition was tough enough, even without a 20lb weight difference!
