What's this? two blogs two days in a row?

I'm on a roll baby...watch out! Thank you to my loyal readers Rita and Emily. I will continue to write...just for you two. Aren't you so excited that you might pee your pants? just a little? no? alright moving on.

So when Jack was 4 we tried soccer. This picture pretty much sums up his soccer experience.

Jack is the one in the middle. facing the wrong direction. He's too busy playing with a blade of grass.

Then we tried t-ball at the ripe old age of 5. There was potential in t-ball except for the fact that they never practiced so the kids had no idea what they were doing. Plus Jack is left handed and the coach kept trying to make him bat right handed so I spent the majority of the games yelling "he's a lefty, Coach...a LEFTY!"

Jack is playing first base in the picture. Although he didn't know that's what he was doing. And Shawn doing his best to be a t-ball dad. He had to instruct the kids to run towards first base after hitting the ball.

Then came Tae Kwon Do. It has been a real transformation for Jack. He has never taken criticism very well. He's a people pleaser like his momma, so when he thinks he's not doing something right the meltdown would commence. Well, TKD has really changed all of that. He has learned to take criticism in order to better his form. He's always been a great listener, but now he really takes the time to listen to what he is being told, process the information and then act on it. Not to mention the incredible exercise that he is getting and the discipline it's teaching him.....just incredible!

He has his eye on the prize (black belt) so we are in this for the long haul. Last Friday he tested for and received his yelllow belt. I couldn't be more proud!

Yep, that's him breaking a board. You heard me correctly. BREAKING A BOARD!

Check out that roundhouse kick!

My kid can kick some ass!
