Water play was the most fun thing I did at school today, but then I have always loved anything outdoors.
When Barbara picked me up I was ready to start my play at her home.  I sure was hoping GGM had already had a nap, because I want both Barbara and GGM to play with me. GGF will join us a little, but not for long periods of time.  You can guess what we played.... plus we worked a few of my early puzzles.   Whenever they say one of them needs to cook (or do some other chore) I say, "Barbara can do it, GGM, you stay and play with me."  I just won't give her a break.  Well, I do let her take a nap, but I sure am apposed to it.

 GGF and I did some roughhousing while we watched Gunsmoke.

 Mrs. Annette sent home a thank you note for the Starbucks gift card my family gave her for helping me learn and enjoy school.

We also had to take a little time away from playing to shorten my "gi" pants.  They are about four inches too long.  We hemmed them up 2 inches and when I roll up the waistband, they are just about right.  My jacket is a little big, and we have a plan for making it work better, but we didn't get that done today.  Oh, I did complain that I was hot when there was about ten minutes left in the class.  I noticed about half of this class had on a Taekwondo t-shirt.  I think we need to look into getting me one of those.

 There are two classes each day. I can go to either class or I can go to both.  For now, one class is plenty.  The classes are from 5:15pm to 6pm and from 6pm to 7pm.  The plan, at least for now is:  if Daddy can come to my class, I will go to the 6pm class.  If he can't make it, Barbara will take me to the 5:15pm class and Mommy will get there around 5:30.  Then she can take me home at 6.  That way we can get home an hour earlier than if I go to the second class.

 Today the master lady, (I don't know her name) showed me how to tie my belt.  It is rather complicated and Barbara might need another lesson in tying it.  Any student there can help us tie it.  GGM came to this class and she LOVED it too.  I am to bow anytime I come upon an instructor and also when I enter the workout room or leave the workout room.  Bowing is a sign of respect.

 I wore my flip flops so I didn't have to deal with socks and sneakers.  The big boys that were there early asked me several times to play tag with them, but I was too shy.  We did talk with a family that takes lessons.  And with another family that has a little girl my age named Jane who takes lessons.  She and I were the only really little kids at this lesson.

We had a third teacher.  Three lessons, three teachers.  All have different methods.  We brought my water bottle, but they do have a water cooler if we don't bring my own water.  

 From these pictures you can see why GGM, Mimz, Mommy, and Barbara love watching me.

 Jane is three years old.  Often she and I get behind the actions of the other students.

Mommy and Barbara could see that I have improved each class.  Today I was saying "Hike" (or whatever it is we are saying).  Before I didn't say a word.  Even GGM said she could see an improvement from the first of the lesson to the last.

Mommy took me home after class.  There is so much I could practice if I would only allow my family to help me.  Sometimes I will let them show me how to do something, other times I think I know it all.
