Guest guest Posted November 15, 2000 Report Share Posted November 15, 2000 Hi all, couldn't resist a brag. Tim, (7 on Friday) as many of you will know, has done ballet for the last 3 years. Sadly the day came when he refused to go, he hasn't been for about 8 weeks now. I am very disappointed, I loved watching him but he says he doesn't like it and I am not prepared to force him as it is the first descision he has really made to take control of his life himself. He also chose all the guests for his birthday party this year and wouldn't accept my pleas to invite some of the less unruly members of his class!!! Can't choose your kids friends I guess! Anyway, the brag (or two). Tim said to me today, totally unprompted, spontaneously, unrehersed, word perfect and perfectly clearly: " I want to do football " , " Play team " , " I do football training " . Sniff, another descision to take control of his own life. Guess I better do something about it, he has whittered on about football for weeks. The brag by the way wasn't the taking control of his own life, worthy of a brag tho it is, but for the brilliant sentence " I want to do football " . Second brag. On sunday Tim is taking part in a gym display locally. Twop of the older boys who were going to do a demo of level 1 boys floor can't come, so Tim and another younger boy (with coaches alongside) are going to do it instead. They practiced tonight and were brilliant, hope they do so well on sunday! Sue Wong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2000 Report Share Posted November 16, 2000 Great news Sue!! You do mean soccer, right?? Not the kind with pads and helmets, etc. really enjoys soccer. Sounds like Tim is really coming along with his language skills, too. Will there be a big crowd at the birthday party?? Elaine A brag (or two!) > Hi all, > couldn't resist a brag.
