[quote=Anonymous]My DS is average height for his age but because he has a summer bday, tends to be one of the shorter kids in his class or team (which is based on grade level, not age). For some reason, DS really likes basketball. Obviously, he has a big disadvantage. He's not that athletic either, which doesn't help. We put him in swimming. He's never been a really strong swimmer but for some reason, he took to the butterfly event, and won his first race. It wasn't a big-deal race (was with his swim lesson group), but if you can imagine - for the kid that always gets picked last for sports during recess, the kid that gets booted of the court by the other kids because he's so bad (that's my DS), it was such a big deal. My DH got really emotional. Sorry, I digressed. Had to share this on an anonymous forum because we couldn't tell people we knew how proud we were of him for such a no-big deal race, and how emotional we got (my DH more so).[/quote]
