Field Day
Last year, we enjoyed cheering Isaac on in field day in Knoxville, so naturally we thought we’d support him again this year. Only Carriage Crest does a field day like I’ve never seen. It was more like one of those elementary school carnivals than a field day. They had 35 stations and at each station there was a game or an activity. The kids were paired up in their classrooms and given a list of stations/activities to choose from. Isaac was paired up with A. I don’t know how the partner selection process happened, but Isaac and A did not seem to agree much on which activities to do. When I met up with them they had just finished an activity that she choose. Isaac really wanted to do the bowling, but she didn’t so when he got in line, she just ran off and he had to follow her. I was glad that I went if only to sort out how the partnership should run. I caught up to them in a line I explained that they needed to take turns choosing the next activity. She still ran off at times when it was Isaac’s turn and he had chosen something, but I reminded her that this turn was Isaac’s choice and she had to stay with him. I didn’t stay for the entire field day because I soon found it very difficult to keep up since Isaac and A were running to each station and I had to drag a stroller and two girls with me.
