Hi-ya!

Today was Jacob's first day of Taekwondo and what an event it was! For over two weeks now Jacob has been running and jumping all over the yard and calling himself "Taekwondo Man"after visiting a Taekwondo class with Nona. I was a little concerned that he might be disappointed when he realized that it wouldn't just be jumping and shouting, but he actually did quite well.

He was unexpectedly shy and I could tell that he didn't know what to do with all of the individual attention. He almost seemed embarrassed and for a moment I actually worried that he might not like it.

After his one on one class we all went out to dinner and headed home. We put Abby to bed and immediately Jacob asked to put on his uniform and began doing all of the moves that the instructor had shown him. He even remembered to bow and say "yes, sir!" It was amazing. Even though he didn't interact much in his class, he retained all of the instructions and moves and impressed us all with his show tonight. Oh, and how adorable is he in his uniform!

Soooo fun! He looks so cute in his outfit and I think that is just the funnest thing - I love activities like that. I'll have to ask him to show me some of his moves!
