We've been on the receiving end of Jon's grumblings and complains about wanting to stop his swimming training recently. He was selected to take part in a swimming meet coming up in the first week of July so his coach has been pushing him hard to better his timing. All these while they've only been correcting his strokes and kicks and not pushing for fast times.
We've also gotten him a pair of brand new training flippers which is leaving a blister on his left ankle. Somehow, all the brand new plasters that we bought doesn't stay on beyond the first plunge! I'm contemplating getting him an ankle brace but I'm afraid that it would hinder his kicking or worse make him get used to a stiffer ankle movement and slow him down during the meet.
He's also not showing any interest in practicing his piano nor animation skills even after going for courses. We are at our wits' end trying to spark some interest in him for other things besides playing online games. He can sit in front of the PC playing this online game for hours on end but doesn't want to spend more than 10 minutes practicing his piano.
He plays his PSP till the battery dies, same goes for his gameboy too. Jay, on the other hand, can put these electronic toys aside when he gets tired or bored with the games.
I was told that Sam (Soon) needed absolute quiet so that she can read and remember while normally she'd be the one creating the noise in the house. I wonder if all dyslexics are like this. I have yet to see Jon read a book without pictures though I have reminded him many times before to start reading.
