Joel had his very first karate lesson today! He loved it and I was so proud of how well he paid attention and listened to the instructors. Getting to class was anything but smooth... he did NOT like the karate suit and was screaming (if that is even the word for the terrible sounds he was making) and trying to rip it off his body. He actually did take it off once as we were attempting to get out the door. Normally, I wouldn't really feel the need to do this, but I KNEW he would love karate once we got there, so I physically forced him into the outfit and carried him out to the car screaming. It was a good thing my mom was here as well because Grant was screaming and hating his karate suit just as much as Joel, so it really did take two of us to get them out the door.
Once we got there, he warmed out immediately and wanted to go into the room with the kids doing karate. They spent most of the time just stretching, jumping jacks, making some noises and a few kicks. It was fun to watch.
Unfortunately, Grant decided to just watch as well (although he was also signed up for the lesson). He is a little young, but I figured he would want to be out there if Joel was, but I guess I was wrong. We have 8 lessons, so who knows, maybe he will change his mind. Otherwise, he can just watch with me and try again another year if he wants.
