Good news on the Auskick Trill! Glad to hear that dp wants ds to play, but knowing my luck he will decide he has to play polocrosse....
Anna, don't ever understimate the value of outside activities! Boys neeeeeeed to play sports, and learning to be part of a team is good for life skills. Also it's very very good to have friends outside school, sometimes the going gets tough at school and if you have friends outside that square all the better.
LOL Lulu, I am soooo not a horse person and you can add the $$ up pretty quick if they are into Pony Club etc. Actually, what size foot would your DS have? I have a pair of footy boots you could have - we got them because DS played a bit of footy last year and needed them, but they only last one season before they grow out of them unfortunately and they were hardly worn in.
Another thing Anna would be to check out if you have a PCYC or other community based place that may do free activities or at a reduced cost. Our kids aren't overly sporty either, but having them in organised sport has been so good for them because once they go to school you don't want them being the kid who can't play a sport to save themselves kwim? They don't ever have to be world beaters at it, but just so long as they can compete fairly against all the kids who do a million different sports five days a week.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
