Silvio decided to play football and he is loving it! The first week he could not believe that kids go to school from 6:30 in the morning (he is taking a zero hour class, so that's why is goes that early) and then go straight from school getting out at 3:36 to football practice at 4:00. At first he thought practice was only going to be for 2 hours but soon found out that most days he is there til 7:00. This has been a big and tiring adjustment for him!!! At home in Italy he goes to school from 8:30-1:00...... big difference.
The boys are so proud of Silvio being a football player!
Ella is too.....she even got a cute outfit to show her support!
This picture cracks me up because Silvio is holding Ella like she is a football and Ella looks like she is saying, "What in the world are you doing with me? Sit me up!"
We are working on getting him to not hold her like a football......hahaha!
Look at how adorable Ella is!
EVERYONE loved her outfit!
Grant somehow thought it would be appropriate to take his shirt off to cheer on the team. Over the next few weeks, this decision of his would turn into something even bigger but you'll have to keep reading to find out what!
Jason Smith and Ella chilling at the game!
Silvio got put in the last few plays of the game. He told us he had no idea where he was even suppose to go when the coach told him to go in. But one of his teammates helped him find out where he was meant to be. We come to find out that this is not only the first football game he has ever played in, it is the first football game he has ever even watched.
He is doing great!
The boys on the team are really good and accepting to Silvio so I think it is making his experience here in Pima a great one!
