So much for that

We've dropped Dom's gymnastics class. I guess it wasn't a good fit for him. The second class went worse than the first, and any time we mentioned gymnastics at home, he told us in no uncertain terms that he wasn't going. I hate to give up like that, but it just wasn't worth the drama every Saturday morning. Fortunately, we were able to get our money back because we cancelled early enough. Soccer, swimming, gymnastics...what next? Maybe it's Noel's turn.

Elise was the same way. I kind of don't know what to do. Yesterday she said she wanted to go home, but I made her stay. I told her she could sit on my lap and watch and when she was ready to participate she could get down. After about 10 minutes she finally got down and only gave about a 50% effort. I was happy to see her try, but I don't think she really wants to be there. I'm not sure what to do either.

It's hard. We just want Dom to be active and have fun, and when he's the only kid who won't participate, it's frustrating. Maybe that's just his temperament, and we need to find something that fits him better, but what? Good luck with Elise. Forgive me for saying that I'm glad to hear we're not the only parents dealing with this problem.
