Be brave

So we started Cale and Aiden in Taekwondo class lately.  I can't tell you how proud I am of Cale and Aiden.  They both fought the first time.  Tonight was only the 2nd one.  Cale would only do it for about 5 minutes the first time and cried through almost all of it.  And Aiden did ok the 1st time and cried through some of the 2nd one.  Cale was super hesitent tonight and cried a little when he first went in, but ended up loving the class. His face just lit up and he totally got into the whole class!  It was so awesome to see.  He wants to go back tomorrow.  I know Aiden will get there.  He liked it last week and I am thinking by next week he will like it more.  Cale is a little more hesitant with everything, so it was just so cool to see him overcome his fear tonight and just go for something new.  And then to think when he started the class tonight he was so mad we were making him try it out.  And the joy and happiness after the class talking about everything he did.  It's just so neat to see the kiddos develop like that!  It's so neat to see them overcome fears.  His instructor says 4 things every time.  Be brave, be strong, be smart, and be polite.  I was so proud of Cale for being brave tonight.
