kicking it

After one extremely long teacher planning session, Dennis and I took long, glorious NAPS! Tonight he had some skills clinics at Taekwondo. He started with board breaking and then did some forms training. The highlight of his evening? Sparring! He was turned loose against others for the first time. He loved it! And he landed some pretty good punches and kicks against the bigger kids. He's very proud of himself.

He cried more than usual today--first when we were leaving school (I think it became real to him that he won't see the preschool teachers much any more). Then, tonight, he had a terrible Walmart meltdown. To be totally honest, I had one of those as well when I spent a nice long time editing and choosing photos to print at the instant photo kiosk only to have the computer lose my order. Here's to summer vacation: may it only improve!
