I've been doing better about working out. This summer I've been trying to get Eeyore to exercise with me and yesterday I had a great workout and I was all sweaty.
Eeyore: "Oh no mom, you're getting sweaty, you better stop."
Me: "I've got 20 minutes left on the elliptical and then I'll be done."
Eeyore: "But you'll keep getting sweaty."
Me: "Yes, that is the point."
Eeyore: "You mean, you are getting sweaty on purpose? Eeeww!"
Me: "Yes, that is why they call it exercise. Didn't you get sweaty running on the track team."
Eeyore: "No way, if I started to get sweaty, I slowed down."
Well, that explains alot about why his times kept getting worse all season - especially as the weather warmed up. Between refusing to sweat and thinking that breathing hard meant he was dying, it is amazing the kid finished the season at all.
Sometimes having a kid with Aspergers can be downright amusing
