Flag Football

Today David and Drew are in Bend at a post season race, so I had kid duty with two kids that had activities at the same time! I decided Caleb needed to make his game over Hannah's ballet practice.

The bottom picture he is carrying the ball. In the next series he will actually make his first touchdown!!! It was quite funny. He first bulldozed through two smaller boys (remember this is flag, not tackle), then he thought he heard someone yell "stop" (so he did), then he heard them yelling "GO", so he spun two circles round then ran 50 yards for a touchdown. I guess he got it done one way or the other!

We also had to have a discussion about who his parents were. Attachment challenges children need constant reminding that there are differences in the way you should treat people. That just because your coach is nice, that does not mean you can lean all over him and talk his ear off about your entire life during the game.

Caleb took the advice well and corrected his overly friendly behavior. He has actually thanked me a couple of times recently for this, as he says he forgets and likes to know he is doing the right thing.

We are making progress! He was looking to me first for approval after each play.
