The Boy was freed from his cast this week.
Here he is discussing his x-rays with the doctor. The rotation of his wrist is good but, as expected the hinging motion is not fully repaired. So, he's got a splint to wear for monkeyin' around...and for track camp.
The school puts on various camps throughout the summer and he chose Speed Camp (Then I will be fast enough to beat Trey...great importance is placed on the playground races in Kindergarten). The first day he told me he had to run 100 laps and then, for Martha, he enthusiastically demonstrated the stretching techniques he'd learned...buck naked after getting out of the tub.
The important thing is he should be in solid shape for Football camp later in the Summer. Once we had established that there would be no shots on this doctor visit ("they take your blood away dood")....that was the main concern.
Go kid go! Don't they do (ahem) 'Soccer' Camp? Good on the lad.
ReplyDeleteYes sir they do.
DeleteIn fact, most little kids are in a soccer league (there's actually a Jackson Football Club...for grown ups like. I guess they play other clubs around the region). The private schools like his are especially keen on it as a high school sport but, usually once the boys get old and big enough to play football (American)...they drop soccer. The girls keep playing which might explain why U.S. Women's soccer is so good and the men's game languishes.
He takes regular golf lessons but, hasn't shown much interest in team sports yet...except for football. He can't wait for that.
When you're sitting in the bleachers on such occasions, I trust you nudge the fellow next to you and give it the full '...that's my boy' treatment.
ReplyDeleteHa. There's a lot of that.
DeleteIn fact he did something yesterday that I have to tell y'all about...I'm just gonna edit it in.
Of course, we do live with him. We do get to see the less glamorous side. Like the other night when he found out his Tom and Jerry cartoons had been erased from the dvr...and he broke down in tears.
Great news! Hope he's still getting some of the hero treatment!
ReplyDelete(Thank goodness it wasn't his leg...)
Ha!
DeleteThat kid's life is the hero treatment.
Indeed....if it had been his leg he probably would've been out for the entire summer.
