On Saturday Sebastian took the test for his purple belt in karate. He got it. Here he is with his instructor.
He's doing better than I expected with karate, to be honest. He's gotten good at shouting and at blocking. At the hockey game on Sunday, another cub scout kept hitting him with a foam "Bruins" claw; rather than falling on the ground and saying "I give up!" as he did several months ago when we saw the PawSox, he was able to block pretty well.
But I still told him that when someone is hitting you, you get away from them if you possibly can. :D
