Alex did NOT want to try karate. His friend next door goes, and we decided to have him try it at the same place. Alex worried and worried for weeks, and cried buckets of tears. He did two trial lessons one-on-one with the teacher and still wasn't convinced. He had his first class with all the kids on Tuesday, and ran up to me right afterward and said, "Hey, I like karate!" Hopefully it will give him a bit more self-confidence (he's been having some issues lately with crying at school). It's already better...
These pictures were made with a little iPhone app called Shakeitphoto - like a mini-polaroid camera. I wish the iPhone camera could adjust for speed and could focus better.

Well tell him WAY TO GO! His hair is getting so dark (at least in these photo's)! Smart thinking on the confidence strategy.
What a little darling! Love that boy!
poor little bucket-o-tears boy! I'm glad he ended up liking it. Looks good in that little outfit!
What gets him crying at school?
Not sure why it started, but he did get teased a little a couple times and then he just started saying that he missed me and missed home. He cried every morning at the bus and every evening for a long time, but it is much better now. Maybe just a phase. He did talk to a school counselor a couple times and that seemed to help. It was weird because he's always loved school and is very social.
Rotten kids at school
