I was the first of 4 kids and not until now have I appreciated what being the 3rd kid meant.
Patrick my 3rd kid is ever vyeing for attention.Unfortunately he fights an uphill battle,and subsequently many times goes for negative attention(it IS better than no attention at all)
Tonight he wanted to be a soccer player like his brother. He actually dressed himself in this uniform complete with shin guards.His first kick was a whiff that ended with him staring at the clouds.We praised for good form(always something positive )and he was fulfilled at least for the moment
