Karate Kid

Meet our new "watch dog" for robbers. Wesley signed up for karate with an agenda in mind:

-to be able to beat up robbers!

-to beat up his sisters if they are mean to him!

Doesn't he look scary???

He's so proud of his white belt and can't wait to earn his yellow belt!

Whether he ever gets to beat up robbers or not....I'm just glad he's learing self disciple, respect, focus, confidence and is having fun!

He's such a cute little guy and he's grown up a lot this last year! It's good to see him so excited about this class!
