This morning was Walk to School Day for the kids. I am available during the week so I went along as a chaperone/volunteer to make sure the kids were safe on their walk through town. I basically held up traffic and such. I was also on hand to help out with drop off in the morning. I waved people along to the proper area where they could drop off their kids. It is a nice event and I walked with Andrew’s class.
Eva helped me out and created the design on my Chalk of the Town tshirt (Chalk of the town sent that to me for free). I think she made a great design!.
Andrew and I continue to stay on track to earn our same color belts at the same time. I’m very proud of all that he has done so far in karate. He’s doing very well. Now both of us are moving up to a higher rank and we will both have a new instructor. Our new instructor is Mr. Brochu. Yes, we will both have the same instructor for our respective classes. Mr. Brochu instructs the purple through green belts for Krav Maga and for Karate Kids.
I think this is the point where Andrew is going to have to start really focusing. He’s going to have to tone down the silliness and nonsense. He’s getting a lot better at paying attention overall but he does have his moments. We will see how he does. As for me, I’ll probably get picked a lot for demonstrations so I get knocked around more. Mr. Brochu does like using me for demos. I’m looking forward to this next round of classes and another three months of working on learning how to do more and refining the skills I have been learning. It has been a great experience so far.
