Wow! Has it really been three months since I’ve posted an update! Ugh, falling behind again… Look for a series of updates coming over the next couple of days…
Basketball came to a close in March, not too soon for me! Christian had a good coach, decent teammates and it was overall it was fun to watch him do something new. He actually started off doing really well, listening and playing. However, since it was a new activity that meant Christian would go from having fun to being lost and “creating” his own fun in matter of seconds – especially as the season went on. He wanted to be the highlight of the team but knew others were better than him and as the coach went from letting everyone try everything to more set positions Christian wasn’t happy in his role. He stopped listening and even stopped playing --- even in the middle of a game. I can’t coach him as he won’t listen to me and when he shuts down he doesn’t only impact himself, but the whole team suffers... Anyway...
Overall he had fun and we now have a basketball hoop out front, hopefully we can work on some skills in the off-season and come back stronger next season and have a better go at it…
(yes, that smile is the result of making a basket)
Playing catch-up --- he shoots, does he score?
