Mike and I have always felt strongly that parents should let kids decide what activities they want to participate in rather than pushing ones own interests or feelings. However, in light of all the suicides and extensive head injuries experienced in football, we have talked about not enouraging the sport despite it being the one Mike enjoyed playing the most in high school.
But our little Matthew does, and always has, loved physical contact and/or thrill seeking. Snuggling, playing leg pumping games, hanging upside down, etc. And here you can see that we are probably going to lose the battle against football pretty quickly.
This pillow fighting went on for about 20 minutes with two breaks at which point Matthew bulldozed the pillow or pulled on it laughing, begging for it to continue. This laughter throughout this pre-bedtime game was pure happiness for both Matthew and his parents.
