Almost a year ago.. Mike and I enrolled Brevin in Karate.. mostly because we wanted to boost his self confidence...his preschool teacher actually told us that he was very much lacking in that area.. we knew this but didn't know what exactly to do about it and she brought up Karate so we thought we would give it a try. The first few classes were tough - he sat on the side of the room or on my lap and cried... buried his head in my lap... he kept saying he wanted to do Karate but soon as we got to class.. he instantly was scared and just wasn't confident in himself that he could do it... it came to the point where the instructor told me that it might help if I was not at the class with him - when I was there.. he wanted nothing but to sit on my lap.. so the next few classes my friend Josie took him (her son Nick is in the class also) - it worked.. he was doing the class and soon I was able to come.. without him sitting on my lap and crying. He now loves it and does SO well at it... this past weekend was a belt promotion where he had to do his routine to earn his next belt - he did great.. we are SO proud of him!! Here are some pictures of him in Karate!!

WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU BREVIN!!!
