Good stories about what the kids did recently / parental bragging

Haven't read all the stories yet, but really enjoyed Gator's and BoxCar's. Something to look forward to someday when I'm a parent :) Heres hoping I won't run into too many douchbag fathers like people have mentioned, parents that don't know when to sit their own kid. You can't shelter them their whole lives, sometimes there needs to be some tough love.

I don't have my own kids but I'm an English teacher in Korea. I have taught my classes of 4 yr olds and 6 yr olds the Buckeye Battle Cry, Across the Field, and Hang on Sloopy. I'm currently working on getting them to do Script Ohio.

Every morning my 6 yr olds say hello like this "Valerie Teacher, O H" and the 4 yr olds just say "Brutus!" followed by something in Korean.

Ahhh it feels good to be making a difference. They might not be able to spell February, but they know how to cheer for Ohio State. I think it's clear which is most important.
just think someday they'll be one of our kids econ ta's...

My oldest daughter just completed her first season of travel softball playing for the U10 Hilliard Cats.

At her last practice, she had an issue with getting her heart rate back down after running a drill that should not have winded a national champion martial artist in the slightest. She was benched by me and her other coaches for the final tournament (The Lady Lion Invitaional) and we took her to the doctor. Since that time, (July 18th) her hear rate has not dropped below 97bpm. Just walking through the grocery store the other day jacked her pulse up to 134bpm. We are seeing a cardiologist on Thursday at Children's Hospital in hopes of getting some answers.

This girl lives for sports. If she is told her heart can no longer take it, it will destroy her.

And as a father, I am helpless to do anything about it.

Life sucks

Scooter, I don't even know what to say!!

I am sooo sorry to hear that. Hopefully, it's something really easy to fix, like a hormonal imbalance. Have their been any tests ran on her thyroid?? It actually controls a lot of the involuntary stuff in your body (heart rate, temp, etc.)

Best of Luck and Please, Please keep us posted!!!!

Tell her I'll take her and her sister to DQ soon and have a girls' day out with my girls!! :biggrin:

Scoot, that sucks man. You aren't saying it, but you have to be scared to death about it. I hope the cardio guys can figure it out soon. Look out for oodles of tests tho. :(
