The kids are taking iceskating lessons this week. I knew Haley would love it, but I wasn't sure if the boys would like it, esp. Carter, but they've done great. Austin picked it up within a couple of minutes. The teachers are really good with little kids and know how to motivate them. They've refused to let the mothers near them and insist the kids stay on the ice for the entire one hour session. I think it's been harder for the Moms than for the kids ;o) esp. the first day when they fell alot!

But now all three of them are skating very well without holding on to anything, and they know how to fall correctly and how to get up without help. They are learning little tricks, too.

Yesterday Carter was yelling to me from across the ice at the top of his lungs, "Look at me skate, Mom! I'm so PROUD OF MYSELF!!!" Everyone cracked up :o)
