First Mini-Tourney

Wyatt participated in his first martial arts tournament. He begged and begged, I wasn't sure he was ready but he wanted it so bad I let him do it. The tournament was a mini version, they didn't score the kids, it was more of a learning experience.

Here they are, lined up by age, Wyatt being the youngest.
Ready...
Go!
He was really enjoying himself.
Then his second round, he was against someone a little stronger...
And then he panicked and forgot to "tap" to say he was done. (which is what I was worried would happen)
Huge tears, but he tried really hard to be brave.
Daddy and sister comforted him.
And then he was fine, chatting with his pals.
He even went out and rolled a third time. (with the owner's kid who is so far above Wyatt in martial arts that he really just let Wyatt work and was so sweet about not pushing at all)

And Cordelia had a blast too, playing with some work out pads. She entertained herself with them for almost the whole tournament.
