It's all about the ICE

Lance skating for the first time

Lance had 3 skating sessions for this month as part of their curriculum in school. For the first two sessions, he mostly relied on pylons and chairs for support. Since the 3rd session is also their last, we told him that he's not supposed to use any more pylons and skate for real this time.

We were only half serious about it because we never thought he'd learn that easily although we could see his determination even from the start. So there, much to our amazement he zoomed past everyone and skated unaided! He fell a couple of times or was it a hundred times? (Lol)

Hopefully this won't be the kids' last skating experience. I've been looking at the monthly skating schedules and we plan to take them skating atleast once a week. We want them to be good at it and it's something the kids enjoy doing. Might as well develop that interest and maybe Lance will shift from being a soccer player to a hockey player and Leila a figure skater!
