Super ninjas!
A few weeks ago M&P started taking karate classes. Dan and I felt like it would be good for them to try something new and channel their energy into something positive (as opposed to beating the crap out of one another.) The premise of this program is all about focusing on the five tenants of karate, none of which I can remember right now. Essentially they're supposed to practice self control, listen on the first ask and be good little citizens of the world.
Mac getting his belt
So far it appears to be working. We've definitely noticed a change in behavior and both kids are really stepping up to the plate around the house. Every time they complete a list of tasks, they're one step closer to earning their next belt. We've already earned a white belt for Mac and a green Little Dragons belt for Paige. Let's hope this good behavior continues!
