Lil Dragon's

Two weeks ago we coerced the girls to try Tae Kwon Do. At first, they were not all that keen on trying something new (read: stopping whatever fun thing they were doing in favor of organized sport).

Now anyone who knows the Klassen gals, knows that they are dragon/dinosaur loving kids (unlike the rest of the 3-5 yr female crew they hang out with). So when we arrived at TKD, they became quite enthused about the sport. You see . . . the program they are registered in is called "Lil Dragons" and their uniforms come complete with a big bright dragon on the back (as well as a smaller one on the front). Those girls could not wait to get their clothes off and that uniform on!




Next they were informed that their first step to getting a white belt was to memorize the Lil' Dragon's Pledge. "I swear, as a Lil' Dragon, I will never play with matches or a lighter. So help me God".

A week later, (after a long discussion about swearing, lighters and taking God' name in vain) we all know the Lil' Dragon pledge by heart and the girls have their white belts.

Myles is really keen on the pledge and recites it to everyone he encounters (with an emphasized SO HELP ME GOD). After about four rounds of the pledge with a friend of ours yesterday, he informed them, "I want to be a Lil' Dragon, but I just go shopping with my Dad". Since he's the same size as Lilah, I wonder if he could pass for a 3 year old?? Hmm. . .
