We had Father's Day a day early. Big Daddy has his black belt in karate and teaches locally. He volunteered to help out at a local tournament and J-man and I went to watch for a bit. I have never taken him to any of Daddy's karate events before, so I figured he would probably love it. Or get overwhelmed. Or both.
It was LOVE.

Big Daddy's Darth Vader gear
This is JOY
We got in and immediately J-man was entranced. The students were sparring, and he laughed and cheered and said "MY TURN" several times. It kinda broke my heart to tell him he wouldn't be entering the ring!
J-man calmly waits his turn
Big Daddy came to the rescue, and J-man got a little one-on-one time training with him.
J-man and Big Daddy
And then the absolutely coolest thing... the thing that saved the day... happened! Some of the students started to "spar" with J-man. OH, he loved it. Me too... I couldn't stop laughing. What a wonderful group of young people!
