Today, I took Q to an open gym for toddlers at the local community centre. For almost 2 hours, he threw, danced, kicked, and ran with abandon.
I realized 3 things after today’s excursion:
- Our suspicion that his althletic abilities are above-average for his age are probably valid.
- His is better behaved around other kids and in a public setting than I’ve been giving him credit for.
- We should do it more often.
It was great to watch him play with abandon in a safe place (hockey sticks excluded).
