Try everything at least once

Maddie's friend Marina has recently joined a karate class. Since then Mads has wanted to join in. She even had a plan where Mariana could get her a buddy pass to try it out. So we tried it. She participated in class but I could tell she wasn't fully getting into it. She was shy. Marina on the other hand was way into it and I was very impressed when I saw her kick,punch and scream and I could see where Mads got her enthusiasm about trying it from.

Try everything at least once is something we try and teach the kids. Mads now knows she likes to go and watch Marina but doesn't know if she wants to join in yet, maybe someday.
