Skating

Skating



















Firsts are not always popular with Owen. It usually take awhile to convince Owen to try new things. I was the same as a child. Skating was an extra hard sell. We bribed, and managed to get Owen to skate for the first time. He did GREAT! wasn't too thrilled at the beginning, but with some practice he will love it!! We took him for a second time yesterday. Again, needed some convincing, did much better, but was still ready to be finished. I asked Owen what his favourite part of skating was and he replied "Getting off the ice"!! Third time is a charm right?




















Griffin was anxious to skate. We suited him up with the helmet and skates and he was proud as punch. We decided to let him try the second time we went out. But just wearing the helmet and skates was enough for this little guy. He preferred sitting in the stands with Grandma waiting for a treat! Tony is convinced that this guy will be our hockey player, as he loves playing and before he said mama, he said hockey stick!
