Like Father, Like Son

If you're not a Ratcliffe, you may not appreciate this (Jenna has made progress, but not quite there yet).

So in my former life, I REALLY enjoyed wrestling. I started from the time I was really young and competed throughout high school. I contemplated competing in college, but decided it wasn't the best thing for me at that time.

Since then, I have had my fair share of withdrawls. I have debated whether or not I would introduce wrestling to Cade, and figured I still had a few years to make that decision. However, I think I made up my mind without realizing it.

Cade is a pretty intense little boy, so him and I have been working on some wrestling moves to try and harness his abundance of energy. If you're not wrestling savvy, the move in this video is called a "Stand-up" or "escape." Basically, the point is to get up off the ground and break free from your opponent. I have to say that Cade caught on quite fast and I was very impressed.

I doubt Cade will be as much into the sport as I was, but it sure is fun to have a little boy around to wrestle with.
