Extracurricular Activities


We signed Tres and Bryant up for tee-ball and softball last week. Over the weekend, Tres started telling us he didn't want to play... even though the reason we signed him up was because he wanted to. When we pressed him about it, he would start crying and tell us that he just doesn't know how to hit the ball in the air (they hit it off of a tee last year) and that he didn't know how to catch it. Even though we reassured him that Daddy and Mommy would practice with him and that we knew he was a good hitter, he dug in his heels.

I think it's fair to say that Hank was a little disappointed. But we aren't going to push him to do something he doesn't want to do. He told me yesterday that he wants to play basketball... so we're gonna look into that.

Also, yesterday, we took him on a tour of his new elementary school. They showed us the gym, the library, the kindergarten hall, the computer lab, and the music room. In the music room, Tres didn't want to leave!! So we asked him if he thought he wanted to learn to play an instrument. He is currently 'thinkin' bout it.'

You are good parents, Jamie...I'm not a fan of parents pushing their kids to do things to live out their own dreams & expectations.
As musically talented as you & your family are, I'm sure Tres will take to music naturally.
