Sam's Yellow Belt Test

 Tonight was a big night for Sam.  Tonight he got to take his test and receive his yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do.  Grandpa M came out for the event and treated Sam to a yummy dinner at Chili's before the big moment.
Sam was so excited and did very well.  To pass from a white belt to a yellow belt he has to demonstrate the skills required.  He had to show his punching and kicking, as well as his ability to understand and do the commands given to him in Korean.  He showed how he knows how to count to 10 in Korean and he had to be able to do his white belt forms 1-20 all by himself.  He has been working really hard and was able to do it all.

 As a reward/way to show off for everyone he got to break his first board.  This made him so excited.  He has been practicing on a foam board in class and did not know that he would be able to break a real one at the test.  I will never forget his little face when we did it.  Priceless!

 I am very proud of him and how hard he has been working.  He has very strict Masters who ask a lot of him and he does all that is asked of him to the best of his ability, and he has a fun time doing it.  A mom can't ask for any more than that!
