No boxing today
So I am all ready to go for a lesson today! My two youngest children 5 and 6 years old are home with me. As I pack up all my gear and get ready to go……I see my little girl looking horrified at the sight of the gloves. She obviously only has ever seen boxing matches on television and has no idea that I just want to learn. But for a 5 year old little girl, the thought of her mommy with boxing gloves on and possibly getting hit is too much for my baby. I saw a look on her face today that I will never forget. So I try to explain it to her ….but the tears are now in her eyes. So the hell with boxing for now, my baby ’s feelings come before mine. There’s always another day for the lessons….just something I’d like to try. Not worth her having nightmares over…makebe she watched a little Rocky with daddy? So she just gave me this picture and told me to just do this mommy! A great drawing of her and I with a barbell over our heads!

Hi Amy! Oh I so understand. That’s the same reason I quit skydiving. My son was 5 and saw me gearing up and begged me to stop. I have never put on a shoot again.

Thats very cute Amy, but having seen your pics, I think she was probably more worried you were going to do someone a serious injury

That’s pretty cute, some times kids do the coolest things. But really I think Rocky movies are the coolest!
