Excited

I have been watching my kids play sports for almost 10 years now. i am always excited to see a game whether it be baseball, football, basketball, etc. I know I am not alone or unique in being a mom that loves to watch her kids.
BUT....
There is something different about today.
Tanner broke his wrist about 6 weeks ago at basketball practice. He is a freshman, so the whole "high school athletics" thing is exciting for our whole family. We were very sad to know he wouldn't be playing in the first few games. I actually shed a few tears in the ER, though he didn't know it. He got his cast off a couple of days before Christmas and has been wearing a brace to practice.
Tonight is his first game with the team!
I am SOOO excited I can hardly wait. I have been counting down the days to see him play high school sports. I have the button with his pic, my outfit sporting the school colors, and some "shakers" all ready to go. (Actually it looks like somebody hid the shakers...hmm)
I'm just sad that I only have about 10 more years of this.
