Kode really, really wanted to take a karate class. So for the month of June and part of July I signed him up for a class. It was an interesting experience. He sort of had a love/hate relationship with this class. I think he really loved that he was doing something as cool as karate, but he was a little timid and uncomfortable with how strict everything was. (And maybe I was too.) He was very concerned with following the rules and stressed about messing up. When it was time to decide whether or not to sign up again for the next session, he decided that maybe he would take a month off. And that was fine by me.
