Connor earned his red belt last week, which means the red-brown belt went up on the wall for display.
I’ve told Connor I’m proud of him for earning his red belt. He says he’s proud of himself, too.
🥰🥋👊🏻

Twitter Update: Schooled
Today, my son asked me about the Tsar Bomba. I’d never heard of it before, but he knew it holds the Guinness World Record for the most powerful bomb ever detonated. https://t.co/YRyKP6l2V6
Spin Hook Kick!
Parents haven’t been allowed into the dojo during the pandemic; if we want to watch class, we watch over Facebook Live. Luckily, the camera was at just the right angle and Connor stood in the right line for me to screen-capture his spin hook kick today.
Lazer Pointer Thersday
Connor told me last night that he wanted to make this shirt in the morning; I gave him the OK, with the caveat that most of his markers are washable.
When I came downstairs this morning, I had completely forgotten about our shirt conversation — until I saw him wearing his creation. (I didn’t have the heart to mention his spelling errors after he’d already made the shirt). He managed to find a black marker that wasn’t washable, but he could only find a red washable one, “so be very careful when you wash this. Maybe put it on delicate.” I attempted to heat-set his t-shirt art by ironing it, so hopefully it doesn’t bleed too much during the course of the day.
I’ve been wanting to play around with screen printing for a while now… Hmm.
I still have no idea where he got the idea for Laser Pointer Thursday.
Driving to School
I glanced in the rear-view mirror as we pulled up to the stoplight, and had to grab my phone out of its dashboard mount to capture this slice of life.
