Tai Kwon Doe after school

Getting repared for TKD, Harry came home hungry and thirsty. Instead of eating his packed lunch he went and got a hot lunch (corn dog). When I came down to help Harry get ready for TKD, I asked him to come over to me to get his uniform on. "I am thirsty Daddy", "I will get your drink after we get your uniform on", "No but I'm thirsty", "We need to get dressed now" and then Harry started crying and losing control. At that point I went and got a drink for him. Until he had an apple juice, he wasnt able to cope with getting ready

It was obvious that Harry was tired. Half way through TKD, he wanted to stop saying "I'm tired Daddy". I was helping with TKD tonight , holding pads for HArry to kick.He wasnt doing a kick very right so I tried explaining it to him. then he did exactly the same wrong kick again. No matter what I told him, he would not try to change what he was doing. It was like he didnt see what I was doing or trying to learn what i was doing. None of it seemed to register.

He then went and kicked the bag and had both Master Chueng and another black belt show him how to do the kick. Yet he didnt change anything at all with his technique. nothing they said made any change to the way he kicked.

He seems to have a hard time focussing on what Master Chueng is saying to him. At the end of the class, they were asked to stand still, looking forward and concentrate on being quiet for 2 minutes. Harry immediately started moving about. MC even called out for Harrison to stay still and that worked for 10 seconds. Then he started moving again. I dont think he heard what MC said.

He had a lethargy about him today. It was his 2nd day at school so that was probably part of it.

I am wondering if the way the kids went to bed last night, Thomas came into Harry's bedroom a lot and kept him up beyond 8pm. Harry thought it was for a while. Maybe that also conributed.
