Emmitts first wrestling tournament

Can I just say wrestling is the toughest sport! The toughest to compete in both physically and mentally and the toughest for this mom to watch!!! Yesterday was Emmitts first tournament and it was crazy. Highs and lows. After losing 3 super grueling matches by points. Going the full time each time, but never getting pinned- To finally pin his last guy and win the last match. It was a wild ride. 
And then there was Braydens tournament. He took second. Five pins and then a loss in the finals.
2 tournaments. 20 hours of wrestling. I love it and I hate it. It’s taught Brayden mental toughness, hard work, and incredible self discipline. That’s what I love but the fact that win or lose you get physically beat down every single time is the part I hate. It’s fun that his brother wants to join him in the wrestling world. These two medal earners celebrated together afterwards with a chick Fil a date.

Emmitt at "weigh ins" the night before the tournament.  He didn't eat from after school until then so he could squeak in under 65 lbs.  Afterwards Makenna and I and Emmitt went out for a feast at Jasons Deli.
