After juggling 2 Taekwondo classes at different times many days of the week for the past year and a half, I am happy to report that my children have been recently promoted to the same class (yeh for Mom!). Testing for your higher rank belt is a BIG deal at Midtown Taekwondo. Harrison was testing for his blue belt, which signifies "the heavens". Heavens knows I was happy when he passed his patterns, definitions, and sparring. 
Grayson was tested on her patterns and definitions, which made me a tiny bit nervous. Imagine your 5 year old before a panel of black belts repeating this from memory: "Do San is the pseudonym of the patriot Ahn Chang-Ho (1876-1938). The 24 movements represent his entire life which he devoted to furthering the education of Korea and its independence movement". She passed (to the rank of green belt) with flying colors. Now, really, tell me the truth. Would you mess with this girl? She even asked me to straighten her hair for this event. Serious business!
