Jude and I worked really, really hard and he finally got his white belt today after his 6th or so attempt. He had to know 5 karate words that are associated with 5 karate stances. I managed to accidentally record the white belt ceremony while attempting to take a picture with my new phone, but then also managed to snap a cute picture. Jude was really proud of himself and I was so relieved. I was pretty proud of myself for figuring out how to use the camera on my new phone on the fly like that. Now I’ll have to google how to tie karate belts since I have no idea. Coincidentally, my mom traveled to Fargo today to watch Jude’s cousin test for his first belt in Taekwondo. Things will always get a little physical when those boys get together, trying to out-do each other.
