New skills

Tucker is learning lots of new things, but prominent among them this fall are his football skills.

1) Tucker knows that Saturdays and Sundays are about football and popcorn. He frequently wakes up from his naps and asks for both.
2) Austin has taught Tucker how to tackle and he enjoys running up to us and yelling "tackle" and expecting us to fall over. He is really good at getting tackled, too. In fact, he loves to yell "fall down" and dramatically hit the dirt randomly.
3) Tucker is working on his refereeing... he knows the sign for false start, and touch down, and we're working on face mask and holding.
4) His throwing is also improving. This is potentially the most useful skill of all the ones being discussed, but I'm not sure it's the one I enjoy the most. Tonight he was practicing throwing toys out of the bath. Hmmmm....

When I get a video of his refereeing, I'll post it!
