Tate took his first Karate class this week...well actually I think it is Jujitsu??? But either way my calves are sore, from him HIYAing me all the way down the hall! He really liked it and he did so good for being a fish out of water. It is sort of a trial run, because this place usually doesn't take 4 year olds, but Taylor knew the guy, and he said just come and see what he thinks. HE THINKS IT IS GOOD! He did really good for being blind sided, they speak another language and they mean business.
Tate had a little girl named Maddi that was his example, and she was so cute, trying to show him how to do things, and really he caught on pretty quick.. But as proud as I was of my little man, I have also never laughed so hard in my life! You forget that EVERYTHING is learned. Once they had warmed up, they started with somersaults down the mat. Tate was hilarious, he started out with his head on the mat and then just sort of fell to the side with arms and legs flying everywhere but straight ahead. I got giggling so hard!
Anyway, when class was over he asked when he could come back, and by the time we got home, we had to bow before each room we entered, and he had mastered the forward somerault! It was a fun night for him!
