Noah came home from school one day and said "I think I want to do wrestling"... I was like "What?!?" Not sure exactly where this came from but he did! The next day he went to wrestling practice/try outs. His very first meet I was SO nervous for him. My stomach physically hurt I was so anxious. Franklin Jr High is an amazing school. I love it and we have had amazing experiences there but it's definitely not a school known for athletics. It's an academically based school and a much smaller scale than the average jr high. Noah going into wrestling made me really nervous about him getting beat up! After all he is my Noah, my quiet, kind, nice, timid, thoughtful, over thinker Noah. His first meet was excruciatingly long we had to wait for about 2 hours before Franklin even got to start wrestling. Watching Noah rough house with another kid is very nerve-wracking. I did not like it. Thankfully he won both his matches, my favorite part was after his first match you could tell his adrenaline was pumping and he did a little excited air fist punch. He did NOT do a victory dance or anything like that he was excited and it was his first match EVER. The stupid ref told Noah to "calm down" I was so annoyed. He literally did an air first pump, it was small and of no consequence. I wanted to yell to the ref "this is his first match EVER give him a break!" Oh well. I got it all on video and I love watching him thrive. He comes home from wrestling practice so exhausted but so happy and content. It makes me so happy to see my kids try new things and find joy at working at something new.
