I know this is way overdue. The Karate tournament was so much fun. CJ went into this of course not sure of exactly what to expect. It was so cute. As soon as they started explaining how things work and showing everyone all the trophy's he was so excited. He said he was going to get himself one of those trophy's. I was so very proud of him, his first medal was a gold medal and he was so excited it almost made me cry. He came running to me screaming look what I got mom, look what I got take a picture of me. The picture I posted of him holding the medal was his very first medal ever. The gold medal! Just looking at those pictures I can still see the pride of accomplishment in his face. It was so cool to see him get so excited that finally he was winning medals not just his sister. CJ was in 5 events that day and won 3 golds and 2 silver medals. We were so very proud of him. Now the great thing with karate tournaments is that everyone always wins. And with that being said you can take the medals you win and trade up for a trophy or trade your small trophy's for larger trophy's. So needless to say when we asked CJ if he would like to trade his medals in for a trophy he was all for that. So we came home with one gold medal and a 3rd place trophy. It was so cute, when we got home of course we had to clean off a shelf for his trophy's (they also got a small participation trophy). As we were cleaning off the shelf he just kept chatting about how we were going to have to get more shelves because he was planning on winning allot more trophy's. I had to kinda chuckle to myself when he was chatting away. To think that almost 5 years ago the doctors were telling us that they didn't know if he would survive or not, to today, he is running around winning trophy's and medals. He definitely is nothing short of a miracle. I am truly blessed. I am so very proud of you CJ and we will put up as many shelves as you need.
