What to do with a very ACTIVE BOY?............JUDO


Xander is a very active little boy and always on the go. In the summer time he spends his days out side running around with his dog, Roxy. Winter time is very hard for him, not being able to go outside.   He has been so bored this winter. He was getting excited to take the girls to dance or piano, because that meant he was on the move. Sad, I know. Sam and I have been trying to find Xander an activity that he could look forward to. The problem is most sports here start at 4 years old. 

Then the other day Sam was at jujitsu and was talking to his friend about our problem. His friend, the owner, told Sam that they have a Judo class for kids on Monday and Wednesday nights. Perfect!!!!

Monday was Xander's first day of Judo. He was the littlest in the class, but did very well. 

Practicing rolls

Xander's push-ups were very entertaining. Some of those were rocking out better push-ups than I could do. 
Xander's 2nd day was on Wednesday. He did 10x's better than Monday. He learned some new moves, and has been showing them to us at home. I've been very impressed. The best part about having Xander in Judo is......He's been tired all week. It has really wiped him out. He's been taking naps again and still going to bed at 8:30. It's AWESOME!
