The NEXT Karate Kid (and His Sister)

Finally, Carter has his own gi for karate class!!  Today is his first day to go to the Little Dragons karate class in full uniform!  Way cool! 

 (Actually, he's wearing Allison's and Allison is wearing the one we got from a friend -who isn't taking karate anymore- and is a size bigger.  But who cares about technicalities!  Carter gets to wear a Gi to karate today!)

 

He's been waiting patiently since the beginning of June for his own gi to wear - and despite wearing only his street clothes, he's been a very good student!  It's so funny to watch his clumsiness as he tries to master some of the rather complicated moves!  But he tries really hard and is very good at paying attention to the instructor!

Allison is also doing very well.  It's fun to see how much she has improved in her coordination since she last took karate September or October last year!

The kids are both in the same class and are looking forward to testing for a new belt sometime next month!  Carter will be testing for his yellow belt and Allison is working for her brown belt!

 (CARTER:  Note to self... when in doubt, always look to older sister to see how it should be done.)
