We went out to play tennis on Saturday morning.  Logan did not mind the idea and Connor was excited.  Logan usually pairs with daddy while Connor pairs with me.  I feel like we can work on Logan’s form a bit more but he is having fun and is getting some hits.  Connor follows my advice and tries to stay with the taught form.  Slowly he is getting some hits too.  The boys are used to Stuart and I playing on our own during their snacks.  It is definitely a win-win situation for all of us.  After snack, we resumed playing in pairs again.  I am surprised how long we played before we moved on to basketball.  Logan was a little bit more assertive and enjoyed playing against Stuart and Connor.

    After nap, I suggested playing chess with Logan and he liked the idea.  He was a little bit of a sore loser after losing the first game to me, and the second game was taking forever.  During the game, I suddenly realized that we had forgotten about Connor’s soccer practice.  So basically all of us just quickly grabbed what we needed and left the house.  We made it in time; the class began just after I put on Connor’s shin guards.  Connor seemed less interested and followed the instructions only slowly.  He even came to me for an extra water break and asked if the class was over soon.  When it was time to pick up all the cones at the end of the class, Connor then looked more energized and enjoyed cleaning up.  These soccer classes are definitely not too exciting and I don’t think Connor learns much from them, but we will finish up the season and enjoy these weekly park times.
