Bye!!!

OK, so I had a little extra time this morning that I didn't think I was going to have.. So I've either forgot to pack something or do something, or I actually did everything!!! Personally, I think it will be the first option, I just won't figure it out till we're out on the ocean and I actually need whatever it is I forgot!!!!

We dropped Noah off this morning to Kindercare and my mom will pick him up tonight for their Tita (thats what Noah calls my mom....he couldn't pronounce abuelita when he was smaller, so he just said tita) and Principe weekend... I think she's planning on going to the Long Beach aquarium and lunch at Bubba Gumps :( I'm sad I'm going to miss that!! I love Bubba Gumps...Bucket of boat trash and a lava flow..MMMMMM!!!! Then they're going to visit my aunt and cousins in Downey... and probably some other cool stuff like that... You know, quality time together!! He's going to have a blast!!!! He won't even notice we're gone!!

Speaking of my Noah poo... We went to his ceremony yesterday where he was awarded his camo belt decided!!! I'm so proud of him.. He has not received one recommended belt...They have all been decided!!!! I know it's just the beginning, but he has shown so much dedication to Tae Kwon Do already!!! He is learning reverse side kicks now and his jump front kick is pretty sweet!!! I bought all of his sparring gear this week too, so he is officially ready to spar!! My son is now the proud owner of a mouth guard and a cup!!! Proud mommy moment!!! I want to see him kick some little kiddies!!! It will be nice to see him show aggression like that.. He's just so mellow and stoic, you know? The next testing cycle will be in December, and he will have to spar another kid to pass to the next belt (which is green)... So we have a lot of work to do until then..... I have nothing but confidence in him... This new belt brings different class days...It's now going to be Tuesdays and Thursdays for regular class and Fridays will be sparring class.... Three days a week!!! WOW!! He's going to be tired!!! We haven't even started on Tournaments!!! Those will be Saturdays and even all weekend for some of them!! I love the idea of him getting to the point where he wants to do tournaments.... I'm not going to sign him up for one until he says he is ready himself... There is a lot of pressure at those tournaments, so I'll wait until he is ready.

Well, I better go..... Have a great weekend everyone and I'll try to get back on here probably on Tuesday after we get back and get settled back in.... Take care!!! (and you know I'll take tons of pictures to share when I get back!!!) Bye!!!
