Believe it or not there are other things than soccer that C loves to do (I know *gasp* right?, lol). My dad got him into slot car racing a few years back, since this was something that my dad enjoyed as a child. Needless to say they are now enjoying it together and it's actually peaked C's interest in another career, other than architecture......car design.
Bonus of all this is he loves to put the models together and re-design them, figure out how to piece the motor together and to paint the car too and without his knowledge he's using all those wonderful tools that's being taught to him in school (shssss, please don't tell it'll really spoil it)! Bonus 2, my dad and him get to spend some quality time together and about every Sunday during the winter season they pack up their gear and off they go to do their drag racing for the day. Bonus 3, I love to see the excitement in his eyes when he walks in the door after the day of racing and hear about their day!
Their racing season ended last Sunday and both my dad and C came home winners (but we already knew that!). Needless to say their pesky little brains are already planning for next season!
