Fall Martial Arts 2016 (Link starts lil dragons and Meo starts universal movement)

At age 5, Meo was ready to graduate from Lil dragons and start the big kid martial arts class (universal movement). He was pretty nervous his first day, but having his friend Jacob start on the same day, and having the same teacher (Nina ma'am) that he's had for the past couple of years helped him make the transition. He has been taking his class very seriously, and enjoys learning some more challenging moves. It's been a great experience so far!

Just before Link turned three, we decided to see how he would do in lil' dragons. While he did love the class and have lots of fun, he had a hard time focusing with the class for more than a minute at a time. We decided to wait a couple months and save a little money for when he was actually three before officially starting. But it was cute to see him in his little gi working on his blocks and kicks! And he's already a master of obstacle courses!

Meo got to be a helper in Meo's class which made him very proud. He took his role quite seriously! Such a great opportunity to be a leader.

The boys both love martial arts at Riverview and we are glad that we are able to bring them there. We feel it has been good for them in so many ways.

This fall we also got to hang out with our wonderful friend Anita! Link always had lots to say to her and we are thankful for being able to have that time together!
