[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe you labelled your preschooler 'nerdy'. And that you say he's not really into sports because 'can't really throw a ball'.

He's THREE.

I agree. Super weird.[/quote]

what's weird about it? I have a three year old. clearly since birth much more interested in books and people than motivated by the physical world. kids are different. [/quote]
Obviously kids are different. But call you by a pejorative term at such a young age is totally ridiculous.[/quote]

OP here.  I really didn't mean to start a flame war here.  I'm an IT exec and DH is a theoretical physicist.  We do not consider "nerd" a bad word -- and in my field, it's rather a compliment -- it suggests someone is competent at what we do.  So I am not trying to stifle my son's growth or insult him.  But it's clear that he prefers reading, thinking, playing pretend games to physical play.  Even our nursery school teacher, with no prompting from us, described him this way.

It's fine if a camp has spots but I went to a sports focused camp as a preschooler and I don't think he would doing that all day.  He's really going to want some story time, maybe a field trip somewhere new, or more pretend or social play than purely running around.  That's all I was asking.
