Yellow Belt Zach

Tonight Zach belted up in his Karate ranks.  He went form a white belt to a yellow belt.  The ceremony was just him and one other boy.  Zach was on the spot for 45min straight.  While he was being tested he transformed from happy bubbly Zach to serious Zach.  I thought that he did really well in performing his kata and loved hearing his sensei praise him.  I've been praying that Zach's confidence would grow this year and I feel like it has and Karate is responsible for a portion of that.

Adam was as supportive as a big bro could be but still super board.  While Andrew really made a party of the event.  He was just not going to sit still.  It started off with him seeing himself in the mirrors.  That just made him want to explore what his body could do and it spiraled from there.  So Josh and I took turns taking Andrew where he could run and scream.  He is so So cute.  After it was all over Andrew and Adam couldn't hold it in anylonger and they exploded by running around and screaming.  Nick Sensei said "it never fails in every family of three that he knows there is always one runner."  I guess Andrew could be it.
