The Karate Kid

Chloe & I went to karate with Trent on Saturday morning. I am so glad we started Trent in karate almost two years ago, worried about his ADHD. It's been such a good experience. Guess what? He's not bad... he's getting good at it in fact, except for the push ups. He gets that from his dad- hee hee (I only put that in there to see if Brett is reading this) We are thinking about putting him in twice a week after the new year since it is one of his strengths. Here are some photos...

and a video. I am really into this video thing, isn't it awesome?! After the lesson the teachers and students sometimes play dodge ball - it's Trent's favorite game you can see why.

Trent is a Karate Star

I took these pictures yesterday. Trent didn't want his picture taken so I had to sneek them-hee hee. He is doing so good this summer. I was really worried he would be bored & into mischief. We are working on his reading most mornings, the reading specialist gave me a ton of stuff to do over the summer. I was really worried that it would be a daily fight. But, it's been great & I am seeing a real improvement. Yesterday the neighbor kids were selling a bunch of old toys & he bought a child's laptop so all night & this morning he has been "working like dad." Brett came upstairs last night & trent had gotten into brett's computer bag looking for cables to connect his new laptop to email- not good. He had turned on brett's laptop & the battery was wearing down. Hailey had been babysitting of course while we were at activity days & YM. He has a huge imagination & a sweet disposition. But, he keeps us running!
