Organized sports

Joshua is in a soccer class, if you remember reading from a previous post. He seems to enjoy it and have fun, but he doesn't pay attention to the coaches and their directions all the time. It could be that he is normally napping when soccer is taking place....who knows! When they break off into teams to play a game of soccer, he runs around and doesn't really try to go after the ball. The competitor in me is screaming "Go get the ball, Joshua!" and I'm embarassed that he isn't being more aggressive. As I stopped to think about the situation, it hit me! Lawrence and I try very hard to teach Joshua to be nice and not take toys away from his friends. Perhaps we didn't do as good of job telling him sports is a completely different scenario! At least he us paying attention to us and it's not just going in one ear and out the other!
