The week before Christmas Aston was invited to the monthly graduation ceremony to recieve his orange belt. Apparently the first couple of belts are more about attendance than they are on actual improvement but it was still an honor and a sense of accomplishment for Mr. A. He had been loosing steam with Taekwondo in the weeks prior so getting a belt in his favorite color helped refresh his interest again.
He walked out of there with a new strut...I think it truly was a proud moment for our 'buds'.
Here's some video of Aston's first day of Taekwondo back in early October...he's come so very far since...:

yay buds! that's great. will watch the video when the fam's up.
congratulations aston! so proud of you!! what an honor for sure. we are so behind it's not even funny. not to mention it's been pulling teeth to get jacob to go so i'm not sure we will continue. may need to take a long break until he's more ready. on top of that he's sick again. this season has been nonstop sickness for us. the worst ever really. it's been a real bummer.
love the look of pride in the second to last shot. enjoyed the video (we got a new modem and now our download speed is 8x faster than what is was--could watch these cute little videos all day long. bring em on!). can't believe 3-year-olds are breaking boards! so cute to see jacob, too. sad to see from dao's comment that he's sick again, though.
GO ASTON!!! Love it.
