Q just tested for his purple belt on Thursday, Cooper and Dex tested for their purple stripe belt on Friday. Q is still nervous and anxious during testing, but once he warms up, he does a great job. I love watching testing, it's such a positive experience for the kids. They start with prayer to give thanks. Then they remind the kids that testing is about their effort and not giving up, the instructors do a great job encouraging the kids. The kids end testing feeling so proud and with a huge sense of accomplishment.
I started this blog for my parents, who recently moved to the Philippines, so they can peek in on the Givens family daily life and keep up with all of Quentin's silliness.

Purple Best Testing
