It went well too! Sebastian and I went to Tyler's preschool to pick him up Monday afternoon. He looked like he was expecting us - he told his little friends to say hello to "Jessica" (meaning me). We got him all signed out and the three of us headed to the car. At first he said he didn't want to go do anything, he just wanted to go to his mommy's house. I said that he couldn't go home right away because no one was home and asked them if they wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese or Build A Bear Workshop. Then, Tyler blurted out "bowling." So we set sail for Coconut Bowl near the water park in Sparks. En route, Tyler said that when we got there, he was just going to take a nap because he didn't want to play. Sebastian enthusiastically explained that he would change his mind when we got inside.
Tyler dug in his heels when it came to renting the bowling shoes, so we switched the shoes for High Ballocity wristbands (High Ballocity is an enclosed multi-level play structure like you see in the big McDonald's restaurants, but much larger). Then, he did not want to go into the play area no matter how hard Sebastian tried to coax him, so I shrugged and put Sebastian's wrist band on him and he disappeared inside. Within about 2 minutes, Tyler decided he better go check on Sea Bass - and that was that.
Ronnie showed up and met Tyler, who was very shy . . . poor kid. But the three of them did some kids bowling, where I noticed that Tyler appears to totally lack and "taking turns" skills. Hmmmmmm. I let it slide, since I will need to have a much better understanding of his behaviors before I even start to think of how to improve them.
Then, Sea Bass and I took him home and walked him to his door, much waving and shouts of goodbye . . . . and Sebastian and I headed out to Lemmon Valley for our Monday night Financial Peace University class at church.
Next play date is Wednesday morning, just Tyler and me, no Sea Bass. I'll keep you posted!
