Your G...I have never believed in labeling children. Your GS is a wonderful young man. He is strong and confident. My friend Chris had her son in karate with his dad. Tim is a black belt and he is an incredible person. But that was not an easy achievement. You should be so proud (I know you are) of the GS. What a terrific post. I love everything you post here. Enjoy the weekend.
