Karate

Judah has been participating in a karate program after school once a week. He went from a white belt to a yellow, and then recently tested for his orange belt. I finally took some pictures. :) One cute moment was when Judah was supposed to punch through a couple boards (three to be exact). He just went for it, and broke all three. The look on his face was priceless. He had the biggest smile, and he was so proud of himself. Sensei Murphy let him keep the boards so that Judah could remember how brave he is. Judah still has them sitting on his dresser.

Sensei Murphy is SO good with kids, and I have really appreciated his approach with Judah. We are so proud that Judah has earned his orange belt, but our hope is that he walks away with something more-a valuable lesson that he is capable of many things with hard work and dedication. Go Judah!

Getting his orange belt!
