Swords into Plowshares
Jan. 24th, 2008 11:10 pmToday I took ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
projectmothra to a Tae Kwon Do class for preschoolers. He had a great time jumping and kicking, and near the end of the class, the teacher had him break a small pinewood board by kicking it. He was thrilled to do it, and even more thrilled when the teacher handed him the pieces to keep.
As we were leaving, he asked me what we could do with the broken wood. I told him he could keep it in his room to remind him how loud and strong he could be when he focused. He looked up at me, hopeful, and said, "Well, can I paint it in pretty colors and glue pompoms on it and we could use it for a little table?"
That's our family values for you. ;)
p.s. I've been posting this sort of stuff over at theprojectmothra journal and not here, but the kaiju has actually been posting there himself now (about once a week, a few sentences per post, you can go over there and friend it if you like, he loves comments), so I think I'm going to start making my posts *about* him over here instead. Thus, a poll.
