Dodge Ball

Since we have officially signed up for TaeKwonDo we have been trying to take Patrick three times a week for classes. His instructors feel that it is best for him to attend classes 2 to 3 times per week. Right now we are going Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and early Saturday morning.

So for the past two Saturday mornings our routine has consisted of me getting Patrick ready in his uniform and he and his dad head out the door. I stay behind and catch a few extra z's. Works out great for everyone.

Well this Saturday morning, as soon as Patrick walked back in the door he declared he wanted to play dodge ball. I was kinda puzzled as I know this isn't a game he learned at school and asked Matthew what that was all about. Apparently they played at TaeKwonDo that morning and well now it is Patrick's favorite game to play. Now I wonder if he liked it because he was good at it. Matthew said quite the opposite. He was one of the first ones out as he walked right up to the boy with the ball and stood there!

Now it is kinda hard to play dodge ball with only two people, but not for my wonderful husband....he figured out a way for just the two of them to play and play they did! Funny part is...Matthew will throw the ball and Patrick will get hit. Patrick then says "You missed me!" Patrick will then get the ball and try to hit Matthew - and he clearly misses to which Patrick yells "Got you!"

I think we might need to go over the rules of Dodge Ball!
