I'm so proud of my little karate kid. He's been working hard over the last few months and had really been dedicated to improving his form & technique.
He's memorize all four of the student creeds. He practices at home almost everyday.
He's a great example to the other students and his instructor often points him out in class for his good form. He will be applying for Black Belt Leadership soon; where he will get to train with weapons, help lead the class with the harder moves & and get a blue Gi.
I hope he sticks with karate, I can see him going far. First competition is coming up in May; he is both excited and nervous. As soon as we got home, we put his certificate in a frame on his wall. Jackson wanted to take all his posters off his walls (spider-man & various movie characters) so the only thing is his certificate. I made one of his favorite dinners (creamy pesto over pasta with sauteed mushrooms) to celebrate and opened a bottle of sparkling cider to cheers to his accomplishment.
I was getting ready for work this morning and Jackson walked in and said, "Mom, today is going to be a good day". It made me smile. He knew he was getting his report card today; which by the way had ALL A's!! He also had a spelling test, which he knew he was going to get 100%, belt promotion later that night, and it's the weekend. He was so cute.
