He went, he saw, he didn't like. I thought it was good for him - all that bowing and politeness. Even the padwa thing - no. Same with chess, tennis. My husband is slightly disappointed he's not into football (or should I say soccer?). But, like you say, he's making his own path. He can pick out the Star Wars theme and The Simpsons on his keyboard, can spend hours doing an animation, is great at drawing and writing. So, we're cool.<br /><br />Ninjapoops - that's fantastic!

Granted, she learned more moves from Kungfu Panda, but she's very into it.<br />Frankly, I believe she's dangerous enough already without learning martial arts.Cate Bolthttp://catherinebolt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-31930981795426167082010-05-05T07:24:57.897+10:002010-05-05T07:24:57.897+10:00My Mr 16 still loves a good "dooshing". ...My Mr 16 still loves a good "dooshing". He was never a joiner or into team sports. His sport of choice is Muay Thai - kick boxing - oh the pain for a mother. I can't watch. But it's his thing and he still gets to "doosh" all over the house. Only difference is his dooshing does come with the menacing look of a 16 yo (it's no longer as cute as a 6 yo) unfortunately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-47120157823426926122010-05-05T06:04:51.798+10:002010-05-05T06:04:51.798+10:00What I'm wondering is, has he met his six-year...What I'm wondering is, has he met his six-year-old Elisabeth Shue yet?? =>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-77300008447384762722010-05-05T00:15:11.599+10:002010-05-05T00:15:11.599+10:00Haha..funnily enough, am currently researching the...Haha..funnily enough, am currently researching the local martial arts studios for MY Mr 6. He's more Dr Who than Luke Skywalker, but I'm looking for a outlet for his "doosh" energies. (He wondered out loud if he could put on a demo of his existing "skills" when we finally settle on a dojo...wasn't sure quite how to handle that one?lol) <br /><br />In his case, I'm promoting the class as a way for him to embrace a kind of physicality he currently struggles with. He's agile and rather athletic, but not into sports. He's not a joiner, either (we've sat on the sidelines of Little A's and soccer, but he didn't want to join). Having a prosthetic is obviously part of that, and I'm hoping the right class will teach him to trust in his own abilities. <br /><br />Am I expecting too much, do you think? He'll be perfectly happy with a good 'doosh' once or twice a week... ;)Tracy Rudd (ruddygood)http://www.thesuccessfulsinglemama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-5938371531701915792010-05-04T23:50:04.475+10:002010-05-04T23:50:04.475+10:00Do you have any idea where that word comes from?

Only time Zen applies in relation to a six yo boy is when we're trying not to react to "dooshing".~~Kallie~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05007090892144500352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-46099377781302681492010-05-04T23:12:11.912+10:002010-05-04T23:12:11.912+10:00Ah yes, the 'dooshing'.

He IS obsessed with all things Star Wars and Luke Skywalker, though, so I wonder how long it will be before he sees someone in their "costume" and works it out for himself? For now, I'll hope he sticks with swimming ;)Anj and Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559821447701440131noreply@blogger.com
