We signed Richard up for wrestling. That's the only sport the city will let his age group participate in right now. I admit I was not really excited about it, but Scott said he always wanted to do it when he was growing up. I figured I could let Richard try it out and he could decide. He says he has a lot of fun, so at least he's enjoying himself. However, he's not very aggressive and usually is on the defensive. He also seems to have a hard time focusing on learning the technique. When I've watched him at practice, he seems to play around more than he seems to practice. (I mean compared to the other boys. Not just compared to my standards of practicing. Lest you be confused.)
I didn't go to his second meet, because it's too hard to have the other three kids there. I watched some video that Scott took. It's almost comical to see how often Richard would just drop to the floor when the other kid would come toward him.
We'll see if he wants to keep doing it after this year. I personally get nervous seeing him, because he's usually not the dominate one and I worry about his getting hurt.
He's having a great time! At least he's getting out and having some fun experiences.
