Kai’s Karate Birthday Party
Mayhem at Kai’s karate party for his 8th birthday
The big lesson Maria and I learned from Kai’s birthday last year was to never, ever have his birthday parties in our house again. Once there’s a critical mass of small boys in one place, utter chaos ensues. So this year we held the party for his 8th birthday at his karate studio: a big padded room, with lots of padded weapons for the kids to pummel each other with. What more could a gang of 8 year old boys want? The instructor – who goes by “Mr. A” – did a good job of providing structure to the mayhem, so things didn’t get out of control. Eidan was there too, and he was right in the thick of the battles (he’s the little guy in the Flash costume). He wasn’t the least bit intimidated by all the much bigger boys, and he definitely gave as good as he got.
