Tae Kwon Do

Matt y De han participado en todo tipo de deportes, pero Brandon no podia encontrar uno que le gustara...  Lo metimos a fut y lloraba todo el tiempo no le gusto, asi que no lo volvimos a meter.  Despues decia que queria jugar basket, pero cada vez que llegaba la hora de inscribirlo, decia que lo tenia que pensar y que hay nos avisaba...  Un dia, al fin decidio que queria meterse a karate, asi que Mark lo llevo a un lugar cerca de la casa y ahora el deporte de Brandon es Tae Kwon Do.  Lo ha estado practicando por dos años y ahora tiene un cinturon super cafe (super quiere decir que el cinturon cafe tiene un linea blanca enmedio, y que es un nivel mas alto que el cafe).  El acaba de tener un examen y el viernes va a recibir su cinturon rojo...  Estamos muy orgullosos!

El llevarlo a practica me ha hecho pensar en lo lejos que los papas llegan cuando sus hijos practican un deporte.  Hay dos papas (salieron en la esquina de la foto) que llegan a las practicas y no pueden mantener la boca cerrada.  Constantemente estan corrigiendo a sus hijos, dandoles "consejos", gritandoles cosas, etc.  Hace un par de dias, en la clase se dedicaron a jugar y estos adultos empezaron a gritar que alguien estaba haciendo trampa...  De veras???  No tienen nada mejor que hacer, que preocuparse porque algun niño de 8 años esta haciendo trampa y eso hace que sus hijos no ganen?

He sufrido en fut, basebol y basket con los papas que tienen que no pueden cerrar la boca, pero estos son los peores!

Lo bueno es Brandon va a subir the nivel, asi que ya no va a estar en la misma clase que estos niños!!!




Matt and De have played all kinds of sports, but Brandon couldn't find his... We signed him up for soccer and he cried all the time didn't like it, so we didn't sign up again. Then he started talking about playing basketball, but every time that we were ready to sign him up, he would tell us that he needed to think about it and would let us know...  One day, he decided that he wanted to do Karate, so Mark took him to a place near our house and now his sport is Tae Kwon Do.  He has been doing it for two years and he is now a super brown belt (the super part means that there is a white stripe through the brown and is one belt higher than brown).  He just had his latest belt testing and he is going to get his red belt on Friday... We are very proud!

Taking him to practice has made me think about the lengths that some people go when their kids do a sport.  There are two dads (they made it to the corner of the picture) that come to practice and can't keep their mouth shut.  They are constantly correcting their kids, giving them "advice", yelling stuff, etc.  A couple of days ago, the kids were mostly playing games during class and this grown men kept yelling that somebody was cheating...  Seriously???  They have nothing better to do, but worry about some 8 year old that is cheating, so their kid is not number one?

I have suffered through loud mouths in soccer, baseball and basketball, but this is the worst!

On the positive side, Brandon will be moving to a different level, so they won't be in the same class anymore!!!
