Liam's First Karate Tournament

Liam had his first karate tournament this morning and it was a lot of fun to watch! I am not sure he completely understood the concept but he got to do three rounds of sparring with different opponents for the chance to earn points and a gold medal.

Waiting for his turn was hard. Liam was supposed to sit in a line behind an orange cone. Well, he was all over the floor, rolling around, pushing the cone, dancing to the music, and basically just being a four-year-old boy. It was quite funny to watch him.

He did not like the protective gear he had to wear, and he actually snapped his glasses in half trying to get them on with the helmet on.

Here's his first round--he's the one on the left.

Still on the left, in blue this time--his third round. The cutest part of this round was when his opponent was awarded a point and he jumped up and said, "YES!!" and then Liam did the same thing!

Here he is getting his medal!


He was so proud of himself and so were we! He did a great job and I think he had a lot of fun.
