Frank Family Adventures: Road to Black Belt......

Ethan has graduated from the pee wee karate class! He is now officially in the Black Belt Club. He is very proud of himself. He keeps telling everyone that he is in the big class now. He received his new karate uniform today. It is a little big but we know he will grow into it. With the new program he can attend unlimited classes. He has committed to the three year program. The classes are now 45 minutes long. He is wearing his white-orange belt but is technically a white belt now. Once he learns all the new curriculum then he will be eligible to test for his yellow belt which will be solid now instead of the stripe. Matt and I are amazed at how well he transitioned to the new class. The instructors let us know ahead of time there would be a trial period to see if he was ready and/or if he liked it. Most of the kids that went to the trial class were nervous and some didn't even join the group and just watched from the sideline. Ethan on the other hand jumped in like he owned the place. He is one of the youngest in the class and definitely the shortest in the class. But he is not letting that stop him. He is paying a lot more attention in class. He is like a different kid. He is showing lots of confidence! We could not be more proud!
