My nephew, Thatcher, and my daughter, Morgan are getting their new belts at Taekwondo in the first photo! Jack is back-to-back to Morgan in the second photo with Thatcher off to the right. They were so happy to be getting their new belts. Thatcher was getting a new version of his orange belt, which included an orange headband with chinese writing on it. Morgan and Jack were getting orange belts, which is one step up from a white belt.
I must admit that it is so sweet to see Thatcher's enthusiasm at TKD...or Morgan's focus...or Jack's squirelly nature being honed into a more focused four-year-old. TaeKwonDo has been great for them. It has instilled confidence and given them a voice. Jack still struggles with speaking directly to his teacher. He wants to shy away, but he is trying...which is wonderful.
The sport teaches discipline and respect for your peers. What a wonderful opportunity to teach your kids life lessons. Michael and I really appreciate seeing our kids working on this discipline. It is basic and difficult and very sweet.
Blessings,
Lolo

We did not know your kids were in Tae Kwon Do, our whole family is in it. It is great!!! It seems as though their belt levels are a bit different then ours. Anyway... see you in a couple days.
