Karate

At the beginning of September, I signed both boys up for Karate. The first two classes were free, so there was nothing to lose and I was hoping to find an activity that Gavin would enjoy since he had no interest in soccer. The first class is a one-on-one with the instructor to assess which class they will be in and there ability to follow in class. The both loved it. Luke would be in the little Tigers class and Gavin would be in the little Dragons class. Luke loved his second class. there are two other boys in his class, and one of them is his best friend. Gavin, on the other hand, decided he didn't want to do it unless he could be with Luke in his class. So we are waiting until he is older and ready to do it on his own. But Luke is loving it and doing really well. This past weekend, he tested for his yellow belt and passed! I'm very proud of him.
Here he is in his uniform and white belt.



Soccer is winding down for the season. Luke really enjoys being the goalie, and is pretty good at it too. Last practice was last night, and the last game is on Saturday. Following the game, is the end of season pizza party at 12:30 and then Luke has a birthday party at 2pm. Whew! And here I thought things would get easier as they got older…and it does in some aspects, but then you are running from here to there blah, blah, blah.
And it's only going to get worse when Gavin decides he wants to start activities too.
