By the way, I wish I could've gotten a better picture, but for some reason I am the only Mom in there taking pictures so I feel like I have to hurry and I'm sure Jack is dying of embarrasement.
Anyway, yesterday the class had a chance to earn a stripe (which moves them closer to the test,) and Jack had worked really hard and really wanted to get this stripe. So they start the routine and I was watching him try with all his might, and just crossing all my fingers and toes that he would earn a stripe.
When they finished and sat down, the instructor had the kids stand that got their stripes. Jack was one of three who didn't earn a stripe. He did make a couple mistakes. But I could not have been prouder of him. He cheered loud for all his class mates and thanked his instructor for a fun class.
He didn't do it perfect, but he tried his hardest and was a good sport all the way. I was just bursting with pride!!

He is such a good kid! I am so proud of him!!
By the way, have you ever heard the story of the sisters who were in Karate & they ditched to go buy skore bars?
that's about all you could ask for Syd. do your best! way to go Jack!
As you should be!!! I think you couldn't ask for more from such an example! You don't see that quality in kids these days! Way to go Jack!
I love the outfit..what a stud! Aubrey's gonna love this post...too cute!
I don't know anything about karate other than watching 'The Karate Kid', but I would've given him a stripe!
Why am I not surprised that he cheered for everyone else? Seriously...the best kid ever! Let me know when he tests again, just so I can ask him about it.
PS...I didn't know he was a yellow! Last time I went to class he was still a white! Hip hip hooray to Jack!
Oh, and by the way Cath, where was I for that skore bar run? Did you guys make me go to class and ditch just the two of you? I don't rememeber that!
Wax on, wax off!!
That's the best move EVER!!!!!
What a good kid!! I'm sure he'll get it next time.
As for you being the only mom taking photos... shame on the other moms!!!! How can they not care!!! No matter how bad a photo turns out, if it's your only one, you'll always be glad you took it anyway. Can you see me cheering you on :)
How exciting. That's too bad about the stripe but that's great that he was so positive for the other kids. What a great quality to have.
i can't believe how big he is! i think the last time i saw him he was not much older than gavin! i am so glad that we found eachother in blogland...love you! oxot
