BFF (Best Friends Forever)


Today we had the Taekwondo picnic at Blue Lake Park. It was an awesome day and we had a really good time playing, eating, and enjoying the beautiful weather.

This is Anna. She and Grayson spent the entire day running around with each other and had a wonderful time hanging out together. They enjoy being with each other at class as well. A really fun time with them is when we are at TKD class and the two of them spar each other. She is a red belt, which is a belt level higher than his, so she is a real competitor. Everything I've ever taught him about not fighting with girls goes right out the window with her... she whoops him pretty good. But when the match is over they always shake hands and bow to one another with the utmost admiration and respect.

It is neat to know that Grayson and the other children in his class are building solid friendships and learning a lifelong skill at the same time.

These are the tenants he is learning to live by:
  1. COURTESY
  2. INTEGRITY
  3. PERSEVERENCE
  4. SELF-CONTROL
  5. INDOMITABLE SPIRIT
May we all learn to live by these.

Great picture
We could all learn from the children on getting alone.
