our karate kid

to know james is to know unbounded energy, and to know all the quotes from karate kid. this year, we're gonna combine his energy and his love of karate kid through karate dojo ymca. karate lessons started last week, and he is HOOKED. i love it, because he loves it, and because it's the y instead of some crazy tae kwan do studio that makes you pay a million dollars and commit to a 3-times-per-week for 7 months type of crazy schedule (seriously; that's what happened when we tried tae kwan do when he was 4 and we left that place in a hurry), i feel good about it too. like, the commitment at the ymca isn't going to rob him of his childhood....you know?
