• Live Audio at Learn to Skate

    Had a bit of fun this weekend at Learn 2 Skate. My youngest didn’t want to wear anything as we think he knew the implications, but a friend and I thought it would be interesting to mic up their 4-year old…and it didn’t disappoint! While long, this video shows some of the mental and emotional processing that goes on in a young mind during an event. As adults sit in the stands, one may imagine what they are saying or feeling…but it may not always match up with what’s actually going on. If you have an extra 14 minutes, sit back and watch the wonders of a 4-year old.

  • Alastor’s 1st Day of Learn to Skate

    Alastor has been keeping away from hockey but always spoke of trying it someday.  Today was that day.  His “brudder” has had the spotlight long enough. He fell no less than 70 times during the hour-long session.  I would be hospitalized after 2 falls at most…but he held it together and did it mostly with a smile on his face. He may even go back but for now, he stuck with the 1st Session and did mention that he did want to quit and come off the ice, but “I just stuck with it”. Marya & I are proud of him for trying!
