Sore & Sorry Kid

Brodie went to Mt. Baw Baw on Saturday & had an absolute whale of a time in the snow! He even saw some people from Church there & Adam who is his respite carer on Mondays after school.

Brodie has now found muscles that he didn't know he had. It seems that he over did the running & playing while he was at Baw Baw that he was awfully sore when he got home. The sad thing is that on Sunday he did absolutely NOTHING and stayed in his room on his laptop like he usually does. He hardly moved ALL day!!
Now he is paying the price for it. His body is all stiff and he has trouble moving.
I had asked him to move about stating that if he remains still his muscles will stiffen up. That he needs to motivate himself and work the kinks and stiffness out. But NOOOO!! he wouldn't listen.

I sent him to school this morning know that he would HAVE to move about. That moving would be the best thing for him at this stage. The teachers there had other ideas stating that it would be best if he was home since he was so sore. I had to drive the 20 km trip up the mountain to his school to collect him. I am a bit pissed off because I KNOW that Brodie will not want to move about much. He did however admit to me that his walking about a bit while at school had helped him a little. So maybe, just maybe he might move about more at home. I most certainly don't wish for him to be at home again tomorrow. He's a senior now and he cannot afford to miss too much school work!
