HE DID IT!!!!

Garyn has been practicing so hard....and on Monday, his hard work finally paid off...

Last Friday, Garyn earned his red tip!!!  He stood proud and counted to 10 in Koren!  It was such a cool moment for him (and for me....)  We have been working on counting for the past few weeks but regardless of the practice, he was nervous walking into Tae Kwon Do.  He told me he didn't want to "not be able to do it."  So when he was asked to stand up and count, my heart stood still for 10 seconds....

And when he did it......my heart pounded with happiness!!!!!

Monday was the BIG day....after you earn 4 tips, you earn different color striped belts.  When he sat on the mat, one of the instructor's reminded him to focus today and have a strong class....because he was ready to earn his new belt.  Garyn had a great class and at the ended was awarded a new belt!  I am so proud of him but more importantly, I am so happy that Garyn has found a sport he enjoys.
