This was a busy week for Max. On Wednesday he started a Ninja Warrior class and the tooth fairy visited our house. Yes, he lost his second front tooth. Now he is missing both front teeth and I just love it. I think he looks super adorable. He was pretty excited as this one came out on its own just like the other front tooth did. The tooth fairy stopped by our house that night and left him $3.
Last week I signed Max up for a Ninja Warrior class to get him out of the house, active and to be around other kids. He's had his moments at home these past few weeks and it's really been because he misses his friends from school and just wants to play with other kids. I was telling my co-worker friend about this and she suggested this Ninja Warrior class. I thought that was a great idea because Max really likes that show. I asked Max if he was interested and he lit up like a Christmas tree and he wanted to go that night. Well, his first class was this past Wednesday and he had so much fun. He was smiling from ear to ear the whole time.
This was one of his favorite parts. He couldn't believe that he would get to do the wall climb on the first night.
Due to the pandemic, I did wonder if I was making the right decision to sign him up for this class, but I had to weigh the risk and reward. After seeing him that night and his behavior all week, I know I made the right decision. With swim on Monday and Ninja class on Wednesday nights, this boy is back to being happy. Social interaction is extremely important with children and since he can't get that at school right now I have to find other ways for him to interact with kids. Now he will get some activity in during the week with swim and Ninja and hopefully this will tide us over until Max can go back to school in-person. Plus, this organization is all about giving the kids confidence and they say this translates into other sports. Andy sure is hoping so! Also, we both really enjoyed watching him.
