Bringin' Home The Gold

Gavin let us know immediately, when he learned the date of his first-ever official competition in Tae Kwon Do. It was worth the long, rainy trip to watch him focus and compete like the champion that he is. He had to spar multiple rounds, including one with Caleb, his best friend since babyhood.

Gav and Caleb 

Nice thing is, no child went home without a medal. There is so much to be learned from this sport. We loved watching all the kids handle their little traumas with great aplomb, even after wiping away the occasional tear. As for Gav…

 Imagine a second place Silver in forms and a first place Gold in sparring. SO FUN to watch. And those hugs we got… they were indescribably delicious! 

CONGRATULATIONS, HONEY, TO YOU AND ALL OF TEAM YOUNG!
