Hi-Ya!

Riley has a little buddy in school who is into karate.  After much discussion between the two boys, Riley came home very excited about the possibility of trying karate.  I talked to his friend's mom as well as another mom I know who's son take karate at the same place and both had wonderful things to share about this program.

So we checked into it.  They are expected to attend classes twice a week which is my only concern since we already committed to scouts year round.  We are giving karate a try but at this point, I think it's a go because he fell in love with it at his first lesson yesterday.  They do the first two lessons privately so the new students can be caught up enough to participate in a group lesson.

Here's my little man looking handsome in his karate uniform:

"Hi-Ya!"

So, I think we'll be adding karate of our list of many after school activities!  It will be great for his confidence, coordination, balance and self-control.  I can't wait to see how well he does in his next lesson.
