Yellow Belts

Both boys passed their first tae kwon do testing last Wednesday evening, and are now yellow belts. It was so much fun to watch them test and to see the ceremony where they were presented with their new belts.

Joshua cracked me up because he was always embarrassed about being a lowly white belt...how mortifying! Matthew, on the other hand, had great respect for his tae kwon do outfit from the beginning, white belt and all. One day when Patrick was bringing him home from class, he told Matthew to change his clothes before playing at the park across the street with his neighbor buddies. Matthew solemnly agreed, saying, "People would be worried if I wore my outfit to the park because they might think I would beat them up!"

Yay, for the Yellow Belts! That story just shows the difference in their personalities-just like the tram ride, I always think it is so amazing how two kids from the same family can be so different.
