We've had a busy weekend with the Muffin Man. We started the weekend with Lacrosse. Declan can handle 30 minutes. That's his threshold. After 30 minutes he's tired and wants to give up. At 35 minutes there were tears. He's not the only one. There were two kids that did nothing but cry the entire time. I'd say it's not his thing except when he was trying he was really trying. He can run with the ball well and does a good job shooting on net. He can't scoop but he did find the wall and scoop against it. He also smiled for the first 20 minutes a lot. Hopefully once he can scoop the ball he will find it a little easier and have fun.
Later on Saturday we got outside. Bubbles and chalk, it's great to be in the back yard. Later still and he was getting dressed into pjs and I tried to help. He told me he could do it himself because "I'm big and I'm four and I'm a leader." Turns out Kelly says he's a leader because he's the oldest. He seems to like the title.
Sunday he helped me pick out plants at Home Depot. Later in the afternoon he helped me pull weeds and plants grass seed. He also stated longingly at two older boys down our street playing basketball. He wanted to go to them. So on that note I see that he wants to play sports games. Perhaps he'd just rather be taught by some kids.
