This past weekend we headed to Tennessee for our last regular season tournament. The kids did great, including Alexander. He got 3rd in forms and sparring out of 6 or 7 kids. One of the little boys he sparred against didn't win anything and was really sad. So, Ricardo talked to Alexander and asked him if he could give one of his medals to the other boy and without blinking an eye he agreed. The little boy was so excited! He hung on to it through the rest of the day and then his parents gave it back with much appreciation towards the sentiment. Of course, Alexander being his honest self said, why did they give it back anyway...then rolled his eyes. LOL!
Always a fun time hanging with our karate pals, eating at crazy restaurants, and having a good laugh!
