Thank you so much guys! He passed!! I am so proud of my big boy - not only did he pass, but he 'won' first place (the trainer set up an 'obstacle course' with all of the things they learned, he did the best ). He was also tied for first for most improved. I am so proud of my boy! He'll start intermmediate class in March. I took some pictures but haven't got them developed yet (no digital camara yet ). Thanks for the encouragement guys!
