Little Dragons Promotion: Yellow Belt

Today Greyson was promoted to yellow belt in his karate class. Greyson is also the youngest child Sempi Hubert has ever had in his class...so he was very honored to be promoting Greyson (that's what he said). Unlike in the Basic class (which is what Clayton and I take) promotion for a Little Dragon is based on attendance; after 10 classes you move up a belt. Last week was Greyson's 10th class so at the beginning of today's class his white belt was replaced with a yellow. We are so proud of Greyson. He was very excited to get his new belt. He had the biggest smile on his face when the presentation "ceremony" was finished. He was very outgoing during warm-up; Today he picked a warm-up exercise (jumping jacks) and then lead the counting. He is slowly learning his kata...we should practice more often (or at least just before class, so it's fresh in his memory)...but from what Sensei Ugi says we are ALL doing well (Clayton and I have testing on Tuesday - I will post pictures of that as well).
