Karate

Hannah has had 3 karate classes so far. She is trying to teach Naomi how to do choke escapes. I am trying to get her to understand that Naomi's not allowed in the class yet because she's not old enough to learn choke escapes. Her faith in her little sister is touching. Naomi, for her part, no longer cries during the "jump, duck, dodge" game at karate. That's the one where Sensei uses a blocker and says "jump" or "duck" or "dodge" and the child is supposed to avoid getting hit by the blocker. Naomi didn't like to see Hannah in peril, but seems to have finally taken my word for it that it's just a game.

Hannah got her new gi last week. It's a bit big, and in the pictures wasn't rolled up much. But still very cute, you have to admit!

She's learned to do pushups, too. Here she is, showing off her skills.
