Well our house just got a little more dangerous! Aidan has started karate. He is VERY excited about this, and truly believes he'll be breaking boards in no time (like next week). I was very excited for him, yet very scared for Maddux and Payton! However, during his first class the instructor gave a big speech on behavior and discipline and sent each child home with a book that allows me to give Aidan a grade on his behavior every week. Every week he must take this book and show it to his instructor. If the rating is less than a 5/10, he has a special chat with the instructor on what he did wrong and how he can improve his behavior. If he has a great week, the instructor calls him in front of the class to recognize his good behavior! I love having reinforcement outside the house, so hopefully this will work out great! I think I might really like this karate thing! :)
Here's a picture of Aidan during his first class. They ordered uniforms that night, so they were in street clothes for the night. In this pic the instructor is introducing the behavior book. Wish I had a pic of Aidan's face. He knew this might not be a good thing for him! HA!
Learning to bow...
This week was his second week and he got his uniform before class. He was SOOO excited to put this on. You can tell how proud he is, by the smile!
He was even game for a little photo shoot. Not normal for Aidan!
So wish us luck as we take on this new challenge in our house! It should be interesting, but I know he will do great! We will keep you updated as the belts start to change colors...
