Gabriel bites his nails all the time....

and when he's done with them he will bite his toenails. (He's quite flexible)

Anybody got a cure for this disgusting behavior?

Rippers 14, Skyboltz 7

Part 1
They did a little better last Saturday. Isaiah got 5 tackles including the game opening tackle on the Kickoff again. He did a swell job of blocking too, keeping his man off the ball runner. Coaches blew this one I think. They should have kept the kids from fielding punts. Those poor kids cant catch. We gave up two turnovers on punts! The team we played had gotten beat like 36-6 the week before...It might've been our best chance to win this year. Hopefully they can win one this week

Isaiah's Football Game

He's Number 7, Left outside linebacker and right guard/tackle. Played on just about every play. They Lost 31-12. Every time the other team had the ball they scored in one or two plays! Its like the LSU vs.UofA game. He makes his only tackle on the games first play.



Pt 2

Yesterday we took Gabriel to his first intro to Karate class.

They got there a few minutes before I did, and two minutes later Christine calls me on the cell and says. "I don't think he likes it or is interested in it."

I got there and the instructor wasn't around yet so I just started yelling "Awooo Kick!" like the Streetfighter game as I commenced kicking and punching the practice bags and full-sized punching dummies around a little bit.

Surprisingly enough I can still kick high enough to kick somebody in the head, just like I kicked Danny that time while he was eating watermelon.

I'd thought I killed Danny or at least knocked out all his teeth, but it was just the watermelon (not blood) and the seeds (not teeth) flying out of his mouth after I gave him the old flying kick to the jaw. (Danny might delete this post claiming it is stupid and inaccurate and offensive, so I better make a copy. He is a pretty heavy-handed advocate of censorship so you guys better not write anything about him.)

So Miguel runs in there full speed and starts imitating my kicking and punching too. Then Gabriel gets interested and we spent a full 30 minutes whaling away at the bags. Miguel is high-fiving people and interacting with others while Gabriel is just single-mindedly bent on the destruction of the punching bags.

So we'll see, I think Gabriel likes it so far and he definitely has a lot of pent up agression and energy that could use an outlet. Miguel is still too young, but I bet he's gonna have a black-belt in something one of these days. (He's already got a purple belt in pooping his pants.)
