Wonder Boy is on my mind. I have heartburn today as I think of him. He is WAY too much like me. Growing up I was moody and a little judgmental. By judgmental I mean that if you wronged me, it took me forever to get over it. Forever. If I got into a snit, it took me forever to get over it.
Flash forward to the present: Wonder Boy has taken after me. WHY do our kids take on our worst personality traits? I've worked SO hard to nullify these traits. I've worked so hard to overcome my natural tendency toward moodiness. And now, Wonder Boy has taken the baton.
He is irritated with his team mates because they don't play their positions or pass. He absolutely can not comprehend that these team mates might not know their positions or intend to slight him. Wonder Boy is shy and so he struggles on the chatty team building side of things.
So tonight his assignment is that he NEVER wander off during practice. He is tasked to hang out with someone at all times so that they see him making the effort. I hope this helps him. I hope he mixes in and gets better at the TEAM part of this.
So, say a prayer for Wonder Boy today... I can't stand watching him learn this the hard way.

Good luck to Wonder Boy...
I hope it works out tonight...
sometimes that stuff in in our "genes"..... and the part about working hard to overcome what is undesirable is what gives us strength of character.
now think forward a few years and how much better a person he will be when he realizes he can, just as you have, tackle the problems and be a winner
