Hmm not that I know of. We have a roller rink nearby. His mom has been absolutely against any sports or classes we try to take him to. I've been pushing martial arts for months and she won't allow it.

Re: Kitty - I would let him know that she's very sick and might not live too much longer. I wouldn't go into much detail or be all doom and gloom but if he's attached to Kitty then I think letting him know would be a good thing. My parents put my dog down when I was 10ish. One day he was there, the next day he wasn't. It was very hard for me because I didn't get to say "formal" good byes. My 10 year old self was devastated because it seemed so out of the blue to me. (Keep in mind this dog was 16, blind, deaf, and paralyzed the last few days of his life so he lived a long happy life but he was the light of my life.) So yeah, I would at least bring it up to him and get him comfortable with the fact that Kitty might not be around much longer.
Re: Exercise - hmm this is harder. Maybe you could just incorporate more active things into his lifestyle? Like taking walks after dinner or after homework. Or doing things on weekends that involve moving? Like hiking or swimming? Ask him if there's anything he'd ever like to try like biking or roller blading. Maybe he'd be interested in joining a team? Does he watch sports? Is there yard work that he could do? Maybe you could incorporate a rule where a certain day you don't get TV/electronics and you guys do something together that involves being active? Is there a YMCA near you? They always have kids clubs and youth teams that focus around a healthy lifestyle.

Does anyone have/like Alex & Ani bracelets?? I'm thinking about getting my mom one for mothers day. I've never had one and I've never really seen them except for online. They're super cute from what I can tell and not that expensive so I think it will be a good gift. My mom looooves her Pandora bracelet so collecting these might be fun for her too.

I have a couple and really like them, I think it would make a great mothers day present & there are a lot of options in choosing them as well... I also got one as a bridesmaids gift from my best friend which was really cool.

I love them, I have 9. When my mom worked in Rhode Island she discovered them for my sisters and I and they've made their way across the country now. I'm constantly buying them as gifts because there's so many to pick from [emoji2]

Is there anything he's into? Tons of activities can totally provide exercise-in-disguise. Hiking, biking, geo-cache, even the video games that make you move.
Mom doesn't have to believe that organized sports are awesome in order for stepkiddo to be involved in activity, any activity, when he's with y'all. Lead by example and dont allow it to not be an option at your house. Use rewards like money, or something non-food-related, to get him moving.

I think Alex and Ani bracelets are great. I got one for Sacha and her team mom that had a shark tooth on it, and they came with a related inspirational quote thing that was just absolutely perfect. Inexpensive and meaningful is right up my alley.
