Karate Update
During the time Daniel (and the rest of the family) was sick, Daniel was supposed to graduate from a Junior Orange belt to an Orange belt in karate. Sadly, we had to skip the graduation, as not to infect the entire karate population of Southern Davidson/Northern Williamson counties.
If you are not familiar with karate curriculum for young children, it would be a good time to let you know that graduating to a full Orange belt is a big deal. You see, when you graduate to Junior Orange, you get to move to the big Dojo (with real chairs for the parents!) and you get to start learning how to spar. But, when you graduate to full Orange, you get to purchase the rest of your gear. You get to wear a helmet and a rib guard and a mouthpiece and you really get to spar. You get to punch and kick and block and you’ve actually got people encouraging you to do so!
Last week was Daniel’s first week sparring and this week I remembered to bring along the camera. Here’s my two favorites (and you can click the link to see the rest):

Not so much the best picture of Daniel, but check out the kid he is fighting in the mirror.
