Middle School Fall Festival

You're probably wondering what in the world this fire truck photo has to do with Timothy and football.    Well, this picture was taken tonight at the Wilson West Middle School Fall Festival.  Timothy really wanted to go.  He heard that many of his teammates were planning to be there.  I was blown away by how many boys came up to Timothy and said, "Hi Mashie."  Every couple of minutes, there were more kids saying hi to him.  I think the whole team must have been there mingling around.

He was kinda like a cross between a ping pong ball, a boomerang, and a deer in headlights.   He was literally bouncing all over the place.  He couldn't seem to stay in one place for more than 30 seconds.  I kept trying to get him to go off with some of his friends and walk around with them.  I told him that we would wait in the library at the book sale, and that's where he could find us when he was ready to go.

He went off with a few friends, but only stayed with them for a couple of minutes and then he was back.  Then he saw a few more friends and went off with them for a couple of minutes, and then he was back again.  He must have repeated this five or six times, never staying with anyone for more than 3 or 4 minutes..  I was beginning to get dizzy! (LOL!)

At the end, he hooked up with just one of his teammates (pictured above) and spent the longest with him, walking around at the trunk or treat area and then admiring the fire trucks.  I was finally able to stand off at a distance and just let him socialize for a little while.  :)
