I am sad and relieved at the same time today...I had my last kickboxing class and I am so bummed out that I have to stop, but our next 6 weeks are crazy busy...Hayden had to also stop karate for right now. He is still having his first test on Saturday and that will get him his first stripe on his belt so I am so excited for that. If we had signed up again, we would have each missed 6 classes in a row right off the bat and so I had to make the difficult decision to stop for now.
I'm relieved in the sense that it is one thing off my shoulders...We have so many fun things coming up and it would have just been a weight on my shoulders knowing we would have to be at a certain place at a certain time and wondering if we could make class or not...Now I feel we can just really enjoy the rest of summer. We are both starting back August 1st so it isn't that bad of a break because I definitely want both of us to continue our classes.
I also had to talk to Hayden's teacher about maybe waiting until he is older to get him started again because I have to take Vanessa and it is a parent participation class and now that she isn't in her car seat to be carried, it makes it so I can't participate. So his instructor told me she was thinking of switching it anyways to a drop off class and we tried it today and he did awesome...
They reviewed for their test on Saturday and she said he did all his moves perfect. Plus, he was the best behaved with me not there. Not that he was bad but between every exercise he wanted to come and hug me and it was distracting when he is in a disciplined environment.
So, in August it will switch to dropping him off and that will be a lot easier with Vanessa...I am also a little bummed about our summer flying by...just yesterday I was outside all day with the kids, Vanessa was in her pool and Hayden was in his and we had so much fun and it was one of my best days so far this summer.
In two weeks it will be July and in that two weeks, we have a lot of stuff going on and also the 4 weeks following so it bums me that I may not have many of those days of lounging in the yard with the kids. We all were laying on a blanket later on in the evening, just playing and tickling each other and Vanessa and Hayden were laughing so much. What a joy it was, I could have stayed there forever.
On a good note, the other students at kickboxing said they will miss me and can't wait until I come back, which is so cool because we all have become pretty close and spend time before and after class getting to know each other. My other joy is, early morning, Vanessa woke up crying, so instead of trying to soothe her, I brought her to bed with me...
She was out within seconds nestled against me and slept like that for a long time afterward. Hayden woke up, came in our room and crawled in bed and all three of us slept a little longer but I was snuggled with them just like on the blanket and again, I didn't want to get up...smiling with tears.
