Recap Addendum
As I reviewed my last blog, there were a couple of things that I left out.
August 5, Saturday - Jadon started his first (of four) session of All Sports Class. Initially he was timid in participating but he eventually warmed up to it. The first event that the teachers had the kids do was hurdles. Jadon would walk up to it, stop, and then step over it. His second try he actually ran up to the hurdle, stopped, and then stepped over it. The next event was the long jump. That wasn't successful. Jadon would walk past the line where he was suppose to jump, turn around and jump back. The third even was discus throwing. They used spongy frisbees and he wasn't really adept at that. At one point he was throwing it behind himself. The following event was shot put. They used squishy baseballs. He actually seemed to excel at that. The last event was a relay race. Two teams of four. His team won! Up next week: T-ball. I better go out and practice his swinging.
August 6, Sunday - For lunch we went to The Old Spaghetti Factory in Fullerton. Good food, good price. After that we went to the Metrolink/Train Station which was literally right next door. Jadon got so excited. They have a viewing bridge so you can see the top of the train. That was pretty neat. They had a freight train that stopped almost underneath us. They also had an Amtrak that came at the same time as well. When the freight train started moving, the engine was roaring. That was pretty loud. It made Vanessa cry, streaming with tears. I comforted her and she gave me a kiss. What a sweet little girl. This experience has inspired Jadon to get out his train set and play with it. He asked me if I could put it together. I obliged and he has been playing with it ever since.
