Isaiah tried the team sport thing but it wasn't him. He wouldn't get aggressive on the basketball court - he's just too sweet. He wanted to learn to play an instrument so he could be in a band with his sister and niece. He asked for a violin for his birthday and he took exactly two lessons when he announced that it wasn't right for him either. He lasted a bit longer at fencing lessons and then decided to abandon that as well.
Then he found Karate and he soared! In just a few months he earned his orange belt and he is happy, happy, happy. Loves it so much he learned to do a split, which trying for the first time at his age, was risky.
And sweetest of all is that our neighbors drive him to the lessons with their boys and I don't have to even take a turn.
I think we found his niche.
