Our life has changed drastically since the week before Christmas. I finally signed Cowboy up for hockey. He has only been asking since before he turned 3. He couldn’t really talk so he only said “ice kate” over and over and over. I did try him in lessons around that time but for many reasons it was not a good fit. He has asked every autumn since then and I finally gave in and enrolled him.
He loves it.
Our local rink has holiday camps where the children go every day for 3 to 4 days. He enjoyed it so much that I enrolled him both the morning and the evening the week before Christmas and he passed. We tried the camps the week after Christmas but he got really sick and had to drop out of that class. He was sick enough that he didn’t care.
The good news is that the next week he was well enough to join two classed that met once a week for 6 weeks. In addition to the public sessions on the day of his class I took him skating one other day of the week each week. He worked very hard and is a pretty good ice skater because of his hard work. He just finished those classes and is now ready to learn more about the game of hockey. I bought him some gear and a stick and he had his first session on the ice with his stick. He is still enthusiastic and I am so proud with all his hard work. I am even taking lessons now. *gulp*
