Colton's Gym

Colton has never fought me on classes at school.
In fact, he has always faced challenging, main-stream classes head-on with courage and grace.
He likes that he is in classes with all the "other kids."
This year, he has had to take Gym.
It's been awful from day one.
His anxiety regarding Gym in through the roof.
He wears his Gym clothes to school so that he doesn't have to go into the locker room.
He just dreads it.

So much so that we decided in his IEP that he wouldn't take Gym next year...
He will take two semesters during his senior year and go to the actual EoS Gym for those.

This morning, he was a little excited because they were going bowling.
Then I got this:

And my heart dropped into my feet.
Literally dropped out of my chest and hit the ground and splattered.

Please, please, please teach and SHOW your children to include everyone - especially those who are different from you.
Please.
