The Hong Kong mini-rugby season is upon us. Today was our first day of practice after missing last week. We are doing Sunday practice after merging the Saturday satellite group I was coaching into the regular Sunday group. This requires Seb starting Sundays at 9:30 AM. And that means Jasper wants to play Sunday morning, too - an 8 AM start. (One of Sebastian's beefs is when Jasper copies him, but Seb has yet to figure out that this is actually happening with rugby on Sunday mornings!) This also makes for a long Sunday but that's okay. The boys are happy and enjoying the sport.
We dealt with a mountain of indecision leading up to the season start. First they - including the girls - wanted to play, then they didn't want to play, then they did, then they didn't, did, didn't, did, didn't, did, didn't, did. Oh my gosh this drove me nuts. Then today while playing Rugby Basketball I tossed the ball into the group and it immediately bounced up into Seb's stomach and winded him. This didn't help. But we're here, and we've started and are on our way into the season. Hong Kong-based Canadians friends are not impressed, arguing that the kids should be playing ice hockey. (Which, believe it or not IS offered in Hong Kong.) Prayers appreciated!

This Canadian says if the kids are happy playing Rugby then so be it.. If all kids had to play hockey, it would stunt the potential for showing off the talents in other great sports.

Our 3rd, Isaac, is a prime rugby candidate. The kid never stops bonking around - and he never seems to mind getting hurt. Literally never (unless it's unexpected, then he cries). I sometimes wonder if his nervous system is incorrectly wired! He seems to have no pain threshold!

I will be thrilled if the kids are gonna play Ice-hockey. I'm a huge fan of it and would be the first ever cheer-leader of them. Do i need to pray about this?
