On Saturday, Braden took his Karate promotion test. He was testing for a green stripe belt. I finally got to go and see him test. I usually have to stay home with Ella since no child under 5 is supposed to be there during the testing since it causes a distraction. Braden did really well during his test, besides talking a bit, but how can you blame a 6 year old who has to be still and quiet for an hour and a half. Braden really enjoys Karate and he loves his instructor, Mr. Ray. Braden is always ready to go to class and knows exactly which color stripe they will be working on for the week- each week there is a different focus for the class like self-control, balance, team work, etc. I have been really impressed with all the things that he is learning in the class. It is not just karate kicks and punches, but also respect, the korean language, and self-discipline amoung many other things. Hopefully Braden will stick with karate and eventually become a black belt- I believe he has the capability!
We are on the Disney World count down! We are supposed to be leaving on Thursday and we are so excited! We are keeping our fingers crossed that Daddy will also be able to go with us! We learned last week that my mother-in-law is in need of surgery that will most likely be this week or next. We are anxiously waiting to see when it will be so we can see how the week will go!
