Well it just so happens that Bug lost one of them at kempo. He's taking kempo too - if I haven't mentioned that yet. Before their first class at the beginning of a week, they clean off the floor, because that is part of the philosophy - take care of your stuff, or the dojo - things like that. So what they do is all the kids grab a towel and they push it across the floor. Apparently Bug and the other smallest kid tend to slip - the whole middle section of the floor has had the finishing rubbed off it, and now it is very slippery. Yeah, you guessed it. Bug face planted it and lost one of his loose teeth. He might have been somewhat upset by it, but he took it like a trooper and went back to class after Sandpaper (mentioned in the last post - he helps with the kids class) helped him wash out his mouth.
The adult class went to a restaurant after our class to celebrate my advancement to green belt, and sensei offered to pay the one dollar tooth fairy fee. I thought it was nice to offer, but really - it's only a dollar, and it isn't like it's sensei's fault the floor is slippery.
On another Bug related note, he will be taking his test to advance to a yellow belt soon. He got the drive to do it after I got my green one, which makes me happy. He has mentioned a few times that he wants to stop kempo, but knowing how much it is helping me, I hoped to keep him motivated in it. It can be hard at the beginning, but I think it is helping him learn how to focus more, and that is one thing that Bug needs to work on.
