Stand Clear, Folks...The Kid Is A White Belt

Still a Camo Belt...where is the white belt, already?
*
Last night, Ryan became a white belt. He was just so pleased with himself, and, as the rest of you parents know, when you're child is happy with himself, you are happy, too.
*
We started this venture only 3 months ago and it has been quite a commitment. We go twice a week and it is not right around the corner from home, but it's a great black belt academy and Ryan is really growing from the experience.

Ahhh...there it is...the coveted white belt.

Hey, look at my belt. You like it, don't you.


Clearly Ryan is the youngest memeber. Too cute!

Congratulations, Ry! On to the next belt. Only, I don't know, twenty more to go before you're a black belt. You can do it!
