Hi-Ya

Phoebe wasn't the only one in our family to try something new this week. Today Peter and Cooper had their first day of Taekwondo. We stopped in yesterday after school and got them signed-up for a trial. So really, yesterday could be referred to as "The Day Margot Dropped a Crazy Amount of Money on Activities for Her Children." Or, you know, Monday works too.

The boys were nervous and excited. Cooper's class was first. He was consistently a step behind everyone else, but I'm hoping that was just because it was his first day. The instructors were sweet and gave him a little extra attention when each new move was introduced.

Peter stayed up with his class pretty well. The teachers were strict and neither boy spoke out of turn as far as I could tell. That might be the longest either boy has gone without talking.

When we got home they were each eager to demonstrate what they had learned. Cooper conducted a short class with Phoebe to share with her his newly acquired skills. It was followed by a ballet lesson from Phoebe.

They go back for another class in a few days. Hopefully the magic won't have worn off by then.

Isn't that worth the price of admission?

I would have loved to see Phoebe and Cooper sharing what they had learned.
