My dream came true

Hello LL

Before I had kids, I've always wanted the feeling of someone running towards me when I come home from work. I have told WY this and have jokingly said that this was my dream. In the past few years, since you were about 3 years old, I've enjoyed this ritual. Exception is when you ares watching TV in which you wouldn't even notice if the abominable snowman came through the door. Today I managed to take a video to capture this.

Brampton Tournament 2026

Hi Ewan, It's been almost a year since your last tournament. Your Sensei pushed you to compete in this Brampton one to get back into the swing of things.  Today is the day.

Your nerve slowly vanished though you did get nervous on the last match. You won most of the matches but kept losing to this kid named Mateo from York dojo. It was soon apparent that your Kata selection was not strong enough. You did Saifa, which is short and doesn't show off some of the harder techniques. While the o...

Swimming

Hello LL, This was our first March break and we were not quite ready for it. I took 3 days off work since mom has exams during this time. On the Friday before, I got a call Uncle Gabriel and I never get a call from him (I thought he was in some kind of trouble). But actually, he wanted to see if I'd like to get a few nights of hotel that he cannot use. After a bit of consideration, we said yes. The hotel is literally 4 minutes drive from our home. With mom having to stay home to study, I took you over to the hotel to swim 3 days in a roll. You hung onto a noodle and kicked around the pool with me spotting slightly. You were totally relaxed and in the zone for a few moments. And that's why I wanted. Don't want you to be afraid of the water. I want you to associate good thoughts and memories about swimming. After swimming, we'd go up to the room to snack and watch TV. It was pretty nice. We could've stayed overnight at the hotel but didn't.  Home is just that much...
