Boy Wonder, you make us proud. Not so much in your achieving - though that’s fantastic. No, I’m very proud of your effort. You put yourself into this and you certainly deserve what you received. I hope you continue to nurture the art of doing. It won’t yield a success each and every time - but every attempt contains its own reward. Great job!

We have this wonderful box full of belts from both children so I know what those little ceremonies are like- good for BW! TKD was really good for my children, esp. Dan who marches to his own drummer still. He loved “Master Yu” and went all the way up to his black belt; Abby dropped out somewhere around blue (with red stripes?) but nothing was quite as nice as those first yellow stripes. Congratulations!
As far as the post below goes, aren’t you good at parlor tricks? I’ll need to browse the store- and mail off this box that’s sitting here with your name on it. Cuz you definitely need more (really cool) stuff.

Evidently, I’m “so-so” with Thrifty Goodness tricks. Thrifting has been so slim these past few months. Inventory isn’t what I wanted it to be! And any box that doesn’t contain a bill is a GOOD THING! ~W

That’s awesome. I never took any sort of martial arts myself, but I have relatives who do, and one of my neighbors down the street has a son who has his own Dojo or something like that.

I never really understood the whole stripe/belt thing. How many stripes do you need for a belt?

You know, I’m not sure. I think two stripes. ~W

Congratulations! My boys take karate and I’m always very proud of them.

(I don’t understand why he has a stripe instead of a new belt. Can you explain it to me?)

Apparently, they must earn stripes first and then belts. ~W
