Taekwondo

Although he wasn't excited at first (it may have been the professional Taekwondo videos that Tom showed him on youtube) Lukas is now very happy to being going to Taekwondo, three times a week!  He really likes jogging around the studio and high kicking, although he needs more work on stretching to get the kicks right.

Tom and I are happy that he has another outlet to learn following instructions, and the opportunity to meet new friends...and the physical activity is good too!  Lukas says he's going to go for his black belt (this was after only two lessons), but we have our sights set a little lower: he gets a fun outing/party after his first belt...which could be a while!

The studio is close enough that I can drop him off, go home, and come back to pick him up.  That's the part that I love best...after having to drive to Natalie's therapy and schlep the other kids around, it's nice to not have to keep Natalie and Konrad entertained while Lukas is having a lesson, like I did during his swim lessons last year.

Kristi, thanks, but we don't worry about misspellings too much...it comes with the territory for giving our kids slightly different spellings!
