Baba helps NJ with tying his gi. It still fits! Even though Uncle Tomo got it for him for his fifth birthday, it's still a good fit.
Nice! All ready for later.
Working on homework. This is what he looks like when he's insisting he's right about something and soon after comes the attitude. He's getting pretty good at spelling though! He'll ask us how to spell something and spell what he thinks it is. Amazingly, it's usually right!
Here we are! Don't look so nervous son! He said earlier in the day, "But I don't want to get hit."
I don't know where he got that idea, he's been there before to watch. And we told him it's just running, rolling, tumbling, balance, and using your weight. No punching, no kicking, that's what we like about it.
So cute doing his stretches and lining up. We watched him and the newest students in the very back of the room. They were learning to roll, tumble, and land. Also to count in Japanese, bow properly in respect, and listening carefully to directions.
Great job! He listened well and followed along just fine. We're so proud. We asked how he liked it. He said, "I like it, it was fun. I'm tired."
"See, you didn't get hit or hurt. And it's good you're tired, you should be!"
Too bad Baba couldn't join in on his first judo class. Baba will usually help teach the kids before he has his own practice. Maybe someday NJ will be a black belt just like Baba!
