That is not an easy thing to do, by no means!
Why?
In a way, it is easy to explain. See, as most Shanghai People live in high Buildings... they selden have a opportunity to go out and play as us Westerners are used to. They do have wonderful Parks throughout the City, but these Kids come home from School and stay stay put in their Apartment... especially if it's multiple stories/floors high.
Thus the lack of most or any Exercise during their young age. So, here we are with Qing's Son. In a way, I feel sorry for him. He can not (he tries) do a single "Push-up", because there are no Muscles to do so. Qing and I would love to place him into a Team Sport like Soccer-Baseball-Basketball, but there is no energy level beyond 10 minutes. How could he ever get a chance to play, the Coach would see this with the first try-out.
Well, we could put him into Soccer as a Goalie... right? Having "Never" played "Catch" with any ball, again... you see why this is also a problem.
What we came up with, let's try a Karate/Kung Fu class and see what comes out of that?
Another Sport he finds now interesting is "Ice Hockey" the LA Kings to be exact. He watches Games with me on the Tube and he's has gotten quite Vocal. By that I mean, while watching last year's Games.. the Kings were playing Dallas. Anybody that been to the Staples Centre, knows about Fans yelling that the "Other" team always "Sucks"! So Tianchi is now ready to join these Kings Fans, as he loves to shout "Dallas Sucks" or whomever the Kings play at the moment.
Anyway, as his Birthday is coming up (Oct.25)... I have Tickets to actually take him to a game in Person. He'll see the Edminton Oilers coming into Town on Sunday the 27th and like I've said, he will be ready with "Oilers Suck" to fit right in!
For Qing, well... let's say; She thinks the Fans are all crazy to take it "That" serious everytime!
