Soccer Time Again

I think this is currently Alexander's favourite activity. The class only lasts for about 40 minutes on a Friday, but Alexander practices his soccer using a soft ball in house every night before bedtime. It's a good way to get the last ounce of steam out of him.

It's been tough these past few weeks, because wee man was diagnosed with constipation and has a ball of hard faeces stuck in his bowel the size of a tennis ball. This causes him to "back up" and can be quite painful for him. In short his makes him crankier than a cranky thing quite a lot of the time. And for some the time all he wants to do is lie on the couch and watch TV, such is his discomfort. On doctors orders we have been treating his condition with laxatives and are told things will slowly get back to normal. We just wish it would happen sooner than later.
