This post is almost a year over due.  I posted when the oldest of the Little Ms earned his Black Belt.  I  even posted a few pictures when I achieved the same goal.

Well, in November of 2013, the youngest of the family proudly removed his red and black belt so our instructor could tie his new, solid black, hard earned, First Degree Black Belt around his waist.  It had been a long three years of practices, tests, board breaks, setbacks and success.

When my young man was 5, he watched his older brother take karate classes for a year.  At age 6, he finally got to don the white uniform and learn the punches and kicks for himself.

He has grown so much in those three years.

 While he will always be my baby, he has matured into a thoughtful young man with an amazing sense of humor, a tender heart, and a fantastic Black Belt attitude.  He loves going in to the Tiny Tiger classes with the 4 and 5 year-olds to help teach the class as a junior instructor in training. He passes his smaile to each one to help them love this sport that involves his whole family.

I'm so proud of you, Buddy! In karate and in everything else you do.
