A flyer came home from preschool advertising a Winter Sports class with one of Romi's favorite teachers, Coach Jen. For 45 minutes on Sunday mornings, Romi had the opportunity to learn the basics of basketball, soccer and hokey. I asked him if he was interested and was pleasantly surprised when answered in the affirmative. Seeing as my little guy is not a joiner, I asked again and he once more gave me an enthusiastic yes. As I sat down to write the $85 check, I inquired one more time, making absolutely certain that this was something Romi was truly interested in. Rob and I were thrilled when it seemed that Romi would participate in a team sport. We thought it would be good for his large motor skills, his team building skills and his social skills. We also thought about how much fun it would be to watch our little guy play. A win all around!
The morning came and Rob and Romi went off to Winter Sports, dressed ready to play, stocked with water bottles. Here's a photo to give you an idea of how it went:
Clearly, Romi did not find the principles of basketball overly engaging. So much for large motor skills. As for social skills, those didn't fare much better:
But at least we could watch our little man play, right? Well....
We made Romi attend four sessions of Winter Sports to honor his commitment There are still five more sessions, but we don't feel it's necessary to tell him that!
