We went to karate on Tuesday and Derek was suprised beyond all surprises. At the end of the class a lot of the class advanced with either a strip on their belt or a whole new belt. When Derek was called up to receive his advancement he was shocked! Derek skipped TWO WHOLE belt. He was working towards a white belt with green strip skipping also a purple strip but received a white belt with blue strip. I wish I had a video camera to record the face that he had when he came running to Cameron. The biggest smile I have ever seen from that boy. He was about ready to jump out of his uniform. He has really taken off with his karate! He loves it. Here are a couple of pictures I took tonight!
Derek is the one at the end of the row... This is his scissor kick. His favorite of all the kicks. He looks like the Karate Kid!!
Look at that smile... and the blue belt!!
The famous BLUE BELT!!!
He wanted everyone to know that his belt matched his eyes!!!
