Tae Kwon Do

Don and I had been hoping that Carlos and Titi would find a sport or activity that they liked enough to do it weekly. They have done some acitivities but they have not enjoyed them a lot. Now they are very excited about Tae Kwon Do. They took classes last year in an afterschool program but they did not learn much. It was only once a week, in a classroom and they did not have a uniform. Then they opened a new TKD school, right across from our development and Titi wanted to try it but I was not sure she would stick with it so I resisted for a while. Finally, in September she started taking classes and from the beginning she loved it! She takes 3 or 4 classes a week and she cannot wait to go back. Carlos did not want to register in Sept. but in December he decided to try it and he seems to be very happy too.

They love wearing their uniforms and I think they look very cute on them. The teacher and the parents tell me Titi is very good at TKD and cannot believe she has never taken classes in a regular school. She is very proud of the fact that she wins when she does sparring with kids that have higher belts than her. She is only a high white belt. She won a trophy at a competition in December and she loves looking at it. Hopefully they will stick with it.
