Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting

We took Jack to Robert's Little Ninjas class on Saturday.  This was Jack's second time.  The first time was a disaster.  Jack sat in my lap the entire time and refused to participate.  When the karate instructor would talk to Jack, he would turn his head away from the instructor (the ultimate diss from a 2 year old).  So, two weeks later, we tried again.  Jack did really well this time.  Here is a picture of the little ninjas lining up against the wall.  Robert is showing Jack his belt.  (Robert and Jack are on the left)




Saturday's class focused on listening skills.  The ninjas would dance while the music was on, then sit down when the music stops.  Robert and Jack held hands while dancing:

Jack had so much fun, that when he fell and busted his lip open (reopening an old injury from 2 days ago), he screamed at me to "go back, go back" when I took him to the bathroom to clean up the blood. 

I was impressed with Robert; he was definitely being a good big brother that day.  He showed Jack how to do blackbelt sitting, he helped him dance, and when Jack wouldn't line up against the wall with the other ninjas, he grabbed his hand and said "Come on, Jack!" while he dragged him across the floor.  I wish I had caught that on video.
