I have to post about my Josh. He has found a passion for karate and sparring. It was hard getting him to try this sport that I knew he would love. His best friend had been trying to get him to join for some time. His best friends mom even offered to give Josh $10.00 one day to go try a class. I finally got Josh to commit to try a class. Abby said she would go with Josh to his first class to help him not be freaked out. We pulled up to the place and Josh said he was not going to get out of the car. Well, wrong think to say to me. I threaten to go get the teacher and the class and have them come get him out of the car if he wasn't going to do it on his own. He was mad at me, but got out. I sped away before he could come chasing after the car. Well when I went to go pick them up he had a big smile on his face. He hopped in the car and said "Mom, I love this". I had no problem throwing the "I TOLD YOU SO" in his face. It is so fun to watch him do this. The cool thing is watching him earn the new color of belts. It makes him see that all of his hard work pays off. He has been doing karate for 6 months now and has been sparring for 2. Sparring is a bit like boxing but with kicking and not hitting the face. Okay, it's not like boxing at all. Josh I know you will be reading this post and I want you to know I am so proud of you!!!! I love you buddy!

That is so awesome! Congrats, Josh!
Josh is so amazing! I always tell him he is my favorite nephew and he reminds me that he is my only nephew! Well even if there were others, he'd still be my favorite! I'm so glad he likes karate. Ben totally loves it too! They are alike in so many ways!
way to go gentle giant!
That looks like so much fun. Josh is such a cool kid.
