Black Belt for my Ninja

My little man earned his black belt last month and boy oh boy were we proud. He has worked long and hard to get this and he most certainly deserved it. All up until we went out to dinner after the belt ceremony and Harrison decided to check his black belt behavior at the door. That was resolved when Robert drove Harrison back to the karate school so he could give the instructors his black belt back. He got the message.

But Harrison really has put his heart into karate and it finally paid off! We loved seeing the excitement in his eyes when his instructors made a huge announcement to his class about his accomplishment of getting the final belt. It was a very proud moment for Robert and I and I'm sure Brooks would have been proud too had she not spent the ceremony goofing off with her best pal, Leah. I love it that Harrison has such a huge accomplishment at such an early age and I especially love his enthusiasm for trying to excel at the things he loves to do.
