R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Max is learning so many great things at Tae Kwon Do. I'm so glad he is interested enough to keep participating for the rest of the school year, and maybe beyond? Last week he brought home an assignment from Mr. Mershad; he had to color the picture of the dragon (they are the Lil' Dragons in class) and write across the top what he did that was respectful. See, they are learning to listen, have self-discipline, focus, etc. and now he is being taught more about respect. I love it.

And boy, he is WAY into it. For example, he was "helping" Chris play the New Super Mario Bros. game on the Wii a few days ago. When Chris "died" Max turned to him and yelled "DAAAAAAAD"... then without Chris saying a word, Max hung his head and mumbled "respect"... he knew!!! Everything he does that is obedient he asks "Mommy, was that respect?" :) "Yes, Max, it was."

Here is the homework assignment: he said he wanted to be "creative" (his word) with the dragon and make it colorful. He also chose on his own what he most remembered he did this week that was respectful and wrote it across the top (I helped with spelling, of course). Isn't it cute? I love respect!!! (almost as much as I love the tongue with fire he added)

So I've got two more years before Clark starts respecting me? Oy vey... Just kidding. But I hear that 2 is the new 3 when it comes to being terrible and so far it's been true.

Back to Max--why is so cute. Oh yeah, because you are his mom. ;)
