Jackson's Karate Advancement

We have finally found an activity/sport that Jackson absolutely loves. On Thursday night he advanced to the Yellow Belt and he was very proud of himself. Results from previous sporting attempts:

Baseball - loved picking grass, ran faster to the dugout after innings than when running to first base and the best part of course was the treat at the end of each game.

Basketball - loved tackling his teamates, clapped his hands a lot when he didn't have the ball and the best part of course was the treat at the end of each game.

Soccer - loved being subbed out of the game, was seen most frequently wrapped up in his coat and sitting in the heated van while the game went on and the best part of course was the treat at the end of each game.

Karate - No treats, but he loves every minute of it.

I loved this post. It was very funny hearing about his other sporting endeavors. That is great that you found something that he really enjoys and that he is good at.

This is the first time I saw this video - and I love it! It just occurred to me...I wonder if Jackson loves karate because it's kind of like being a Jedi...He looks really Jedi-ish in his black 'uniform' or whatever it's called. :)
What a darling boy. Feels like we haven't seen him in forever... tell him hello!

Haha. That was me (Lindsay) that posted that - not Jason.
