socializing
May 16, 2009
My son is very social. But, really on his own terms. He went to a birthday party today of one of his classmates. It was a lot of sports. My son is not into sports. Apparently, when it came time to play dodge ball, he did not want any part of that. He is a very logical sort of guy - I mean when you really think about it, who wants to choose to stand in a line to get hit by a ball? So instead of playing all of the sports, he was really more interested in the one electronic component in the gymnasium - the scoreboard! In any setting, he always finds the electronics!
We went to our friends for dinner tonight. When my son doesn’t know what to do in a new social setting, he often looks for his sister so that he can do as she does. Even at the birthday party earlier in the day, he looked for her. He figures if he just does what she does, he should be o.k. Well, my daughter wanted to hang out with her friend tonight and not to be bothered by her brother. So, we discovered the hot tub. He loves to be in water and the hot tub kept him very happily occupied for quite a while. Everyone was happy!
