 Right after school Mimz and I drove over to the Finch's home, so I could meet and play with two of the York's grandsons, Silias age 7 and Justus age 5.

 I really like it when Mimz takes me over to the Finch's home so I can swim and play with the grand-kids.

  At first we were shy around each other, then we started fighting with pool noodles and then the fun began.   My daddy and their daddy were school friends. They have four more brothers and a sister, seven kids total.

Barbara has been watching Taekwondo YouTube videos.  There are many of them.  She found one that does a very professional presentation and she liked the way they tied the belt.  It is a little different than the way my club ties them so we will have to see how we end up doing it.

Barbara, Daddy, Mimz, and I all showed up at my house at 4:30.  My Taekwondo uniform called a "dough bock" and my belt called a "dee" were there.  Mimz bought me a What-a-burger meal which I ate while we talked about my day and got me dressed.  Barbara showed Mimz and Daddy how to tie my belt.  Daddy was going to work out, but one day soon he will make it to my class.

At the Taekwondo club we talked with Master Park (the head lady's name).  Mimz bought me a black club t-shirt because I get hot wearing the "dough bock" jacket.  I think Master Park is impressed that I have so many people interested in my lessons.  Not many parents come... I don't know why...

Today's lesson was different.  Three people did not pass their test to get their next belt, so they had to retest.  That took about 30 minutes of our lesson.   I only had 15 minutes of activity in this class, but it was probably a good thing that I got to see what the tests are all about.  We wonder how I am going to learn all of that.  I guess my family will have to pay close attention so they can help me practice.  Barbara has been looking on YouTube and has found several videos that will help me.  There was one to teach me to count to ten in Korean.

Mommy dropped me off at Mimz home and I had two pancakes and half a banana before school.  At school we had water play, which is always fun on these hot Texas days.  Miss Sherrie was ill so my swim class has been postponed until Friday.

We went to Target to get a bicycle pump for my bike tires. I pulled one of my stubborn spells in Target because Mimz would not buy me a toy.  She kept on walking and of course I finally followed her. Between raining spells I rode my bike a lot. 

I was tired but was fighting taking a nap.  I can get cranky when I am tired.  I got mad at Mimz and she left the room.  That lead to me falling asleep on the sofa.    


I learned a new word today.  I wanted to go to the doughnut shop and wear my cowboy boots to school and change shoes when we got there.  Mimz explained that it took too much time to change at school with other parents needing to pull into the school driveway.  She suggested a "compromise."  She explained that that meant I would get part of what I wanted and Mimz would get part of what she wanted.   I said okay so I wore my boots to the doughnut shop and after eating I changed into my sneakers in the doughnut shop parking lot.

On Sunday, Daddy explained how he and Scott would said thank you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and then ask to be excused.  I haven't been doing that, but tonight at dinner I said thank you and asked if I could be excused.  Mimz was so surprised and pleased.  It had only been mentioned to me that one time and I remembered all on my own.

 Mimz and I went to the park around 6pm and didn't get back home until 8pm.  I was so hot and sweaty after riding my bike in the afternoon, and then running with boys at the park.  I had a good bath and then I was hungry so I ate again.  I am a growing boy.


GGM, GGF, and Barbara think I am so very loud and rambunctious, but Mimz tells them they should hear Hudson, Harper, and Beckett.  She says they are so loud at times they drive her crazy.  At first I didn't know what to think of those boys, but now I just join in.
