Oh, Football. I Missed You.

Sunday has a new rhythm. And just in time.

 

I am over how busy the summer was. Finally, the weather is cooler. I am pregnant with a capital “P” and want nothing more than to put my feet up for a few hours, eat food I can’t otherwise justify, and watch my team run, throw, and tackle their way to victory.

 

Oh, football. I missed you.

 

John’s German grandfather, I’m told, had a theory about American football: namely that it is ridiculous. “They get up, run a little, fall down, get up, have a huddle, and do it all over again!”

 

Jacob’s commentary yesterday was strikingly similar. But without what I imagine to have been a considerable German accent (we’re working on it).

 

“Fall down! Stand up! Run, run, run! Fall down! Stand up!”

The very best part, though, was when he called out something that sounded very much like “Tebow!”

 

I’m a Sanchez fan myself, not because I find him attractive, but because I believe in him. Henry, it seems, is on my side of things. (Note to self: do not play favorites.)

 

For us, football season is a time to keep in closer communication with certain family members, see friends, dress Jacob up in loyalty-inducing paraphernalia, and eat my becoming-more-famous-every-year pulled pork. It is a time that warms up our home, even when the air outside is cooling down.

 

Though the Jets are seasoned heartbreakers, at this point, no one knows what the season holds. After a distressing preseason, our boys started it off with a W. It was just what I needed to start the week.

 

That and the fact that there are still a few pigs in a blanket left in the fridge . . .

The First Son

“A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go work today in the vineyard.’ And he answered, ‘I will not’; but afterward he regretted it and went.  The man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, ‘I will, sir’; but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” (Matthew 21:28-31)

 

Welcome to my world.

 

I have been reminded of this passage of late, as Jacob figures out the consequences of his words and actions. Too often, we have scenes like this in our home:

 

Me: Jacob, time to pick out stories for bedtime.
Jacob: Noo!

And then he goes to the shelf and picks them out.

 

Me: Jacob, time to clean up your toys.
Jacob: Nooo!

It contains many proven herbs for best viagra pill their prominent effectiveness in treatment of impotence.
And then I throw a toy or two in the bin, and he follows suit.

 

I suppose I should be grateful that he is living the role of the first son, the one who obeys and “does the will” of his parent—eventually. I understand that this stage is a normal one, and it doesn’t happen all the time, which is good.  Still, it makes us do silly things, like trick Jacob into eating his food with threats of consuming it ourselves:

 

Me: Jacob, please eat more of the [fill in food here] on your plate.
Jacob: No.
Me: Okay, then Mommy will eat it.
Jacob: No!
Me: All right, is Jacob going to eat it?
Jacob: Yup.

 

I wonder, how old were the sons in that story? They had to be more than toddlers to work in the vineyard. That worries me—how long will this go on?!
