Benji's First Karate Class!

I've been wanting to sign Benji up for karate classes for a while.  Apparently karate is good for discipline, focus, and general physicality (strength, balance, body awareness), all of which would benefit Benji. A friend recommended a dojo that's one block from his summer camp and it turns out they offer classes for kids from 6:00 to 6:30 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Even better, the first two classes are free! We stopped by after camp on Tuesday to watch part of a class and whet his appetite a little, then returned today. Benji has been watching the TV show "Ninjago" and he was VERY excited to have a "sensei" (teacher). Sensei Bob is GREAT with kids (strict and kind at the same time) and incorporated Benji into the class smoothly. Benji really enjoyed it and the babies watched with rapt attention for almost the entire 30 minute session. Afterwards, Tamar was saying "kick" and making little kicks with her chubby little leg! We'll definitely be back next week, so expect more karate class photos in the future.  --Victoria
