Mike the Tiny Tiger

Meet Mike the Tiny Tiger. Jacob & Cole's Taekwondo class is the Tiny Tigers, and Mike is a new incentive for kids to do well in class. Each week the "best" student is chosen to take Mike home and watch over him until the following week. Sure enough, Jacob & Cole quickly figured out that only one of them would need to do well enough to be chosen in order for them both to have a weekend with Mike. One of the many perks of being a twin I suppose!

Jacob was chosen last week, which means that Mike joined our family for a few days. The kids had a blast with him. He ate a hearty breakfast of "imaginary meat oatmeal", watched Owen's baseball practice, took a little tour of the LSU campus, did arts & crafts, and made a new friend (the boys put a white belt on one of our teddy bears so Mike wouldn't be lonely). Now he is back at the martial arts school, and the boys are already looking forward to getting him back soon.
