Red Belt


Last weekend Ethan tested for his red belt. He was so excited. When he wore his new red belt to class on Thursday he said it felt great! I was worried when the instructer told me that he was ready to test, because he just received his Sr brown belt in February. They like to move the kids along too fast, I think. But she assured me that the next belts are harder to get, so they give them more time, about six months each. So if that is true, then he will have his black belt in a year and a half. Uggg, that is a long time, I had no idea what a huge commitment this would be. But he still enjoys it. He won the award this month for best attitude! He is always a ball of energy in class. He jumps up and down in his spot, the Master is always having to remind him to stand still. It's fun to watch him.

Ash- I forgot that E-dog lost a tooth! It makes him look so old!

He actually hasn't lost it yet. It does look like it though, it's hanging on by a thread. This will only be his third tooth.

Sweet red belt! It'd be way more awesome though if he could come to scouts too. Jake wants to hang out with Ethan more often than just at Father's and Son's! :)
