***Warning*** The pictures below are deceiving. What you see is a child appearing to have fun. What you don't see is a child whining, throwing fits and refusing to participate.
I signed Z up for soccer camp. It's an hour a day for 1 week. Yesterday was his first day and he participated for maybe 5 minutes of the hour. Today, he participated for 2 minutes. The rest of the time he was hanging on me, the stroller, whining, complaining and just being a total crank a lank.
When I told him we'd just leave if he didn't want to participate he threw a bigger fit. Needless to say, we won't be going back a 3rd time. Sorry, not all stories have happy endings.
So here he is on the first day:
Sadly he will miss getting a t-shirt, trophy and group picture on Friday but apparently organized sports are not his thang. We'll try again in the Fall.
