Well I have heard that Kung Fu helps children (well any martial arts) with ADHD. Last night we took Kya and Lucy to a class for the first time. It was very fun for them. Kya is definietly made for Kung Fu, he had great stances. Although his little constant debateing is what gets him pushups. Lucy was actually doing really well, Im very protective of her, especially because she can be very sensitive. In Kung Fu when you do a move you are suppose to make a noise (usually) "I". Lucy needs to work on that part, she is really quiet. I was also impressed with a little girl in the class we has one finger and one toe on each of her hands and feet. She was amazing to watch. They will go every Tuesday and Thursday I think it's going to be a positive thing especially for Kya.
Oh I have one more thing to add to this. Im very proud of Lucy, she has not made a real friend in her preschool the whole year. Im not sure why, I think it could be lanuage barrier mixed with the fact some of the little girls are kind of mean. Although this week a new little girl came into her class, she has MS. But even though her movements look a little weird because of the MS......Lucy has been able to look past that and she is her new best friend in class. They eat together they sit together in circle time and everytime I pick her up she is playing outside with her. I dont think Lucy understands fully what is wrong with her friend, but she is nice and that is why Lucy loves her.

You'll have to let me know how that goes, Ang. Sometimes, I think something like that would be good for Melina to help teach her to not talk back or get sassy.
That is so sweet...I'm smiling just reading that. It sort of reminds me of Kelci in Kindergarten. Her really good friend Rylea was in a wheelchair. I think she liked her so much because Rylea couldn't run around the playground, and Kelci didn't have any desire to do that either, so it worked. She always talked about her though and even wanted to go to her house. I can't wait to hear more about the class. I can just Kya talking back to the teachers...to funny.
I remember when Kelci made that little friend in her class. Lucy really does have a sweet helping, loving spirit about her. Even today we went Military celebrating the children event and she gave her little friend Riley her flower balloon. I thought that was so nice of her. Riley's mom said Riley would have never done that. I know Kya would have never done that either.
