Little Tiger

I took my 4-year old granddaughter, Elly, to her Tai Kwon Do class today for my first time.  It was a fun class to watch.  There were only 5 kids in her class - the Little Tigers.  I told Elly I wanted to take some pictures of her in her Tai Kwon Do costume.

She looked at me very seriously and said, "It's not a costume Grammie, it's a uniform".   A very important distinction in her mind.  She then said, "You can call me Little Tiger". 

I wasn't very prepared for this outing.  After taking two pictures, my camera's battery died.  I should know better.  The pictures I took aren't all that great...I had to zoom in quite a bit because all the action was taking place across the room from where we parents/grandparents sat watching.  I really must learn to take better photographs.

We really must do something about the size of her uniform.  She kept walking on the bottom of her pantlegs and having to hike them up at the waist.  It sure was cute watching her do her moves though.

In true Eloise fashion, she stretched out our half-hour outing to fill the afternoon.  She wanted to go to McDonalds, so we went through the drive-through and brought her kid's meal home to my place where we ate, did a couple of jigsaw puzzles,  read a few books, colored, until I had to take her home a few hours later.  She walked in the door of her house, grabbed a blanket and pillow off the couch and curled up on the floor and was immediately asleep.  I guess I know how to wear a kid out.  Now her mother will have to deal with her when she's not tired at bedtime!!

Thanks for the fun day Elly.
