This totally deserves its own post.  Sydney earned her yellow belt!  The pictures are terrible because I forgot my camera and only had my phone, but it's better than nothing.

Sydney started karate on August 24, and her sensei said that she would be tested after three months of instruction.  However, there were some kids who were coming up for testing on November 2, and he said he would like to test Sydney as well.  That was only 10 weeks after she started!

She was a little nervous, but she easily earned her yellow belt and amost made yellow belt 2nd!  Ben was able to come watch her test.  She is so intense and focused when she is doing karate.  I've been surprised how much she likes it and how talented she is.  She actually missed the promotion ceremony with the other kids because it was the day after ER trip and she still had lots of hives so she had her own little ceremony on Wednesday.

Go, Sydney!
