Ethan’s Skating Lessons
So we figured we probably should get Ethan started with some activities now, and Soccer doesn’t start ’till next year for him. The Skokie Park District offered a special, pre-season skating lesson – three 1/2 hour sessions for 10 bucks. It’s really a teaser for their 20-week full program, but it’s a nice way to find out if your kid is a prodigy or an ice buffer for less than the usual 60 bucks.
Initially, Ethan did great on the ice… so great, in fact, that he got himself going too fast and fell directly on his head straitaway. Since then, he’s been afraid to move around very much on the ice.
Still we’re going to go ahead and give the full lessons a try. Marla is going to re-learn to skate with adult lessons at the same time as Ethans, so they can learn together.
Here’s pictures of his first three lessons: http://gallery.famille.org/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=903&g2_fromNavId=x5abdf8b8
