mat rat

 this child loves so many aspects of wrestling tournaments, but usually it's not the things you'd expect.  like watching a match or cheering on people he knows, while they compete, isn't a super high priority for Cree.  side note~ he's also not a fan of the loud gymnasiums~ with spectators cheering and whistles blowing.  he does his best to tolerate those parts.




nope...much more fun is the warm-up, when he's out there on the mats doing the same routines as the big kids before the tournament is even underway.  he also loves the familiar faces of the friends he's met over the course of the season, both from our club and outside of our club.  but probably his favourite activity is the "tear down" at the end of the tournament.  any chance he can squeeze in there and help pull up the mat tape and roll up the mats or mop the floor makes him soooo happy!  on this particular day the older volunteers~ all three pictured above, were most tolerant and kind to include Cree in the part he loves most!
