This is the first haircut Timothy has requested.  He also told the stylist what he wanted for the first time.

It's already time for a belt promotion for Timothy, from high gold to orange.  Like his first belt promotion, this was held at one of the high schools and was a great show.  The black belts performed some impressive forms, and Timothy's enthusiasm for this activity was reinforced.  We only had our phone cameras this time, bad planning, hence the poor quality.

I got to not only attend Timothy's Halloween class party, but I also got to help plan it this year.  Being a Mom with Tim for such things is fantastic.

Tim played a goat in the performance.  He had three lines, including the punchline to a joke, which he delivered well.  I didn't video it because I wanted to watch it live.

On the last day of school before the Winter Break, Timothy's school held a talent show and he performed a Taekwondo form called Chon-Ji.  He asked one of his karate instructors to teach it to him (he won't learn it at the studio until he's an upper gold belt), and they practiced it every time he went to class.  We are very proud of him for doing this in front of his entire school.  His karate studio has a great deal more space than the stage; hence, the fall (gracefully executed).
