Yesterday, I wrote a blog post about my oldest son, Iain. My blog would be incomplete without a post on my youngest son, Ryan.

This boy is amazing. When he was 4, he was able to change the icons on his desktop to images he found on the internet. He is very determined and when he decides to do something, it’s going to be done, whether anyone else likes it or not! LOL Like his big brother, he’s very smart. He picks up new things very easily and his latest interest is no exception. Since last Summer, Ryan has been passionate about learning Tae Kwon Do. Over the last several months, he has trained 3-4 days a week at the academy and practiced hard when he was home. He began as a white belt and now is awaiting news after the most recent testing to see if he achieved first level blue belt status. He LOVES TKD. It has really given him so much, built up his self-confidence, helped him mature, encouraged him to work hard and set goals. Last night, he attended the latest round of testing and hopefully will have achieved the goal he set for himself back in June of getting his blue belt. Once he gets to that level, he can begin to train younger kids. That has been his goal since he started- to teach others and help them move along as he did. He’s extremely funny with a huge heart and he did a great job last night!
