Kicking/Listening Class

 Last week we brought Dexy to two more karate classes. We explained that he had to do a good job listening in class as well as outside of class in order to stay in the class. When we got to class on Monday, Dexy proudly showed me how he has to take his shoes and socks off first. Dexter did a very good job of listening to the karate teacher and following directions (he earned a clip for his belt - that he doesn't even have yet!).

There are still some maturity issues - when other kids act up and run around, he joins right in until the teacher gets him back in line...We have another free week of karate classes so we're going to keep it up and see if he can keep it together before we sign up for lessons that we have to pay for. He loves it and we hope it will help him with self-control and discipline but we're not sure he's ready for it.
