Wrestlemania
Our kids can often be a bit rough with each other and we often find Emily is far more hands-on than Adam so when Rachel heard about the Wigan and Leigh Wrestling club down near Trencherfield Mill in Wigan, she signed them both up for a taster session. The club is run by volunteers and gives kids from all over the borough a chance to try something physical, burn off some stream and learn a bit of respect. It’s a great place and the kids are soon getting stuck in. They have no idea what they are doing and Adam spends the whole time smiling, much to the annoyance of some of the other kids but Adam is giving as good as he gets and still has a smile on his face at the end. He’s probably a lot more like me than I thought. He’s capable and will be able to look after himself as he gets bigger, but he’s not in any rush to hurt people.
Emily on the other hand is absolutely going for it and seems be holding her own with much bigger kids. I’m swelling with pride watching them both.
Watching Emily again, she reminds me of my sister Stephanie. She was never one to back down so paired with Rachel’s ‘take-no-sh*t’ attitude, I start to relax a bit about my little girl being able to look after herself in the big bad world.
