Canaan was so excited for this tournament; he's been asking about it for weeks and this morning he woke up asking what time we could leave. He did really well. They did relay races like they've practiced at his weekly classes. He was paired up with two other kids to do flag sparring. He was disappointed when they practiced in class and he didn't win, but he won all 4 matches today. Then they moved to the battle stick sparring and he was paired up with a much taller boy that looked like he was using Canaan to play Whack-A-Mole! At the end, his class was awarded certificates for participation with both a ribbon and a medal attached and a waist-high trophy. The smile on his face at the end made it all worth it.
