Yellow Belt Ceremony

Sean has now earned his yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do. Michael bought Sean his sparring gear after the belt ceremony. Sean can't wait for his first sparring class. He and his friend William put their head gear on and William said, "Sean hit me in the head!" Of coarse Sean accommodated him. Master Nixon was in his office so he didn't hear their little conversation, all he saw was Sean punching William in the head repeatedly. William's mom and I quickly advised Master Nixon that William asked Sean to do it. It's going to be interesting with those two in sparring.

He is now working towards his "bumblebee" belt (yellow belt black stripe). He will test for it in November, as long as he continues to focus and work hard.

He is VERY proud of himself

Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting...

Okay, not really. The whole family had belt testing today. Michael was able to get a pretty good shot of Sean doing his step behind side kick. Tuesday Sean will hopefully get his yellow belt. He did SO much better this time around. He didn't fidget as much as he did on his first test, and he was able to stay focused. Good Job Sean!! Mommy & Daddy are SO proud of you.

Sean's 1st Fundraiser

Sean has brought home is first fundraiser. Unfortunately I only have til 9-15 to hit everyone up. If you would be interested in helping Sean please email me (rsimmons@spartan-networks.com). The goals are done by number of items sold not dollar figure. I'll see some of you at Dylan's birthday party Sunday... be prepared. Everything has to be prepaid, so I need to turn in the money with his paperwork. (FYI... there's a catalog that has items that are only $5)

Sean's Belt Test

Sean is testing for his next belt in Tae Kwon Do (so are Michael and I). Test date is Saturday 9/19. Sean's test is at 7am for his yellow belt. Michael and I test at 9am for our white belt/black stripe. We are very excited to be testing together.

Sean has been going to the after school program at the Tae Kwon Do school, so his improved ALOT.

Poor Sean

It looks like Sean is going to miss school for the first time. He's sick. Michael picked him up today from Tae Kwon Do and he was burning up and looked pitiful. We took him to our chiropractor and he had a 102/104 temp. His right ear is on the verge of being infected and while they were waiting for me to get adjusted, Sean vomitted ALL OVER Michael. It scared Sean, because he has NEVER vomitted other than spitting/vomitting as a baby. He was pretty upset too, because he did it all over his daddy.

I'm actually writing this post from our bed, where Sean has be laying since we got home. He's managed to eat some soup and drink some juice. I'm just waiting on him to pass out for the night. He won't go to bed til his daddy gets back from the store (getting provisions for the sick kiddo).

I'll be taking him to his pediatrician in the morning to get him tested for the flu and update his teacher.

At least it's just the beginning of the school year.

I'm A Pie

At Sean's previous preschool it wasn't uncommon to let the kids play with shaving cream. Since Sean now prefers to take showers on his own, I thought it would be a great idea to let him have some on the glass to play (thanks April for the idea). So today when I told Sean I had bought him a bunch of shaving cream for playing in the shower, he wanted to get in the shower as soon as we got home. No more convincing him to get in - LOL. However, instead of playing with it on the glass like I thought he would, he started putting it all over himself. He started laughing and said, "I'm a pie!"
