Karate!

About a month ago I had a conversation with Weston about what activity he wanted to do. Maybe tee ball again? Meh. Maybe soccer? Meh. So I asked if he would want to learn karate. He replied, "Well, Mom, I kind of already know a lot of kung fu moves." I managed to convince him that he could learn something new. :) I also found a fantastic deal for 3 months worth of lessons at a martial arts center really close to our house.

On Tuesday we went to sign him up. Wednesday he had his first private lesson with Master Troy (for which I forgot to bring my camera). And today he had his first regular Dragons class. It was great. He loved it. It's hard for him since he's not the most athletic kid. Seriously, you should have seen him trying to do a sit up. Hilarious. I think that it's good for him to do something that doesn't come easily though. And, of course, he's having a blast punching and kicking and LOVES his uniform! Today he got his white belt after class and he was very proud. Skidoosh!
