The Day I Was Grateful for Belts

Karate belts, that is.  No.1 tested for his first time at this level today.  He did a pretty good job.  We saw where we need to work (mabu stance, hand sets, 24b), and we saw where he excels (balance, jabs, roundhouse).  I'm proud of this little guy.  He complains some times (like Thursday's sparing when he got kicked hard), but we don't let him quit because of a few hard times.  Stick it out and it'll be worth it.

So, here's to more kicks.

Here's to more giggles.

And here's to a Better Mommy Me.
