We signed the kids up for ice skating lessons and while I'm (very) partial to basketball, I am excited for them to learn to skate and eventually choose what they want to do as they get older. I don't know if I'm quite ready to dive head first into hockey yet....but if it's not now, I've heard it's hard to catch up later, so we'll see where this takes us!
I was quite nervous for Nora as she had NEVER had skates on her in her life and I didn't know how it would go for her (or if she would even get on the ice). They both are in the same class from 4:30-5, but they are separated into different groups, which is great. They both did great for their first lesson and I was proud of both of them. Nora listened to her teachers and tried everything they asked of her. She took a couple hard falls and there were some tears. :( The good news is she got back up and tried again.
Bishop was walking on his skates from one side of the rink to the other and seemed to make progress during his first lesson. He seemed to really be enjoying it.
The lesson went super fast and they both survived!
