He decided to sit it out for this season because the practices would have interfered with TKD and he’s too close to getting his black beltSmart. I don't know how he does everything that he does as it is. LOL!!!!!!!!
Is there a second degree black belt? Or is this the "last one"?
Oh yeah it keeps on going…..his head instructor is 8th degree senior…..this is just the biggest because it means your officially a black belt and it can’t be taken away
Oh, that makes sense. SO, will D go on to the next level or try something else? He seems to really love the sport, but he is SOOOOOOOOO good at everything he tries. lol

That is quite an honor considering how many levels they have to go thru to get to black belt. You have every reason to be extremely proud!!!

Oh good…..I’m glad she’s doing well …..hopefully maybe we can get her to chat next weekSame here. Did she have surgery?? I know she has had quite a few problems. Happy she is doing well and that she remembers us!!! LOL
Yes, she had knee surgery. She sent out a mass e-mail, so when you have time to go through your dozens and dozens of emails, you might come across it. lol

LOL….the parents give the speech to the kid about how proud they are of them basically but it’s public speech in front of everyoneOh wow.....sounds neat, but yeah, I think I would want to do that in private, not in front of people. lol Still, I bet it makes the child feel really good to hear such things in front of his peers and parents.
Yep….it gets emotional….lol…..we frequently need the Puffs….but in a good way…lol
