Summer Games.

Last weekend was the first of a three week summer game course that Jadon is partaking. This last stint didn't turn out as well. They had to stretch, then they played red light green light, Simon Says, four corners, then finally duck-duck-goose. Jadon did all right in red light green light. Simon Says was really advanced for most of the three year olds. It was four corners that things went down hill. The object of the game is you had one 'cat' who was holding a ball and everyone else were 'mice.' The teacher would roll a dice and what ever number (1-4) was rolled, you have to run to that corner. If you got hit by the ball you had to freeze. Well Jadon was doing fine initially until it was his turn to be the cat. He threw the ball and hit a boy (the same one that we avoided last week) and that little boy retaliated. He pushed Jadon (by no means hard or anything) enough to make him cry. He wanted to stop playing and wanted to go home right then and there. I had to console him the whole time. The boy got lectured a little bit but I don't think the mother has control over her kids. He pushed another kid too. But I told Jadon that he can't be too sensitive and to not cry so easily. I asked him if it hurt and he said it didn't. Jadon's going to end up crying alot in school, I just know it.
