determination

every recess kai does the monkey bars. most kids are busy playing super heroes or zombie tag, but ever since day one of kindergarten, kai has been determined to make it all the way across the monkey bars. these bars are tricky because they are uphill and in the beginning he could only hold on for one or two bars, but he kept with it. every recess. he kept with it, despite the fact his hands had huge blisters from working so hard. we would tell him to let his hands have a break, but he wouldn't. with a few bandaids and hard work, he now he repeatedly makes it all the way across. he keeps me posted on how many times he makes it across each day and could probably tell me how many times he has made it across all year (he is good at keeping score.)
his teacher said he is a determined little guy.




strong work kai. i wish you could see his smile each time he finishes!
