Early Boxing Day

The Mayor worked from home today and we all took advantage of a break in the weather to go outside and enjoy the sunshine.  We broke out the boxing gloves and focus mitts for some good practice.  Here's a summary of the hobbitling boys' current boxing skills:
  • Boookie gets the boxing timer set for three 2-minute rounds and he's got pretty good cardio to keep going through all three rounds.  He's got a decent jab with the left and a really solid right hand.  He occasionally punches so hard that he hurts his hand, even through his training gloves.
  • Seimi gets the boxing timer set for three 1-minute rounds.  Seimi does nothing but crazy punching combinations, most of which end with a kick to the Mayor's shins.  The Mayor has a hard time making it three rounds with this kind of treatment and ends up doing a lot of dodging in the latter rounds to avoid kicks from his 5-year-old robot-boxer-boy.
  • Eejee picks the gloves up, puts them on, smiles triumphantly, and then gets distracted and moves on to something else.
