My big mistake, signing up for session 3 of skating and hockey for Maddie and Theo. It was such a trial to go to each week. It's quite challenging to suit up for time on the ice when it's beautiful outside. Theo was in misery. I needed to give him a pep talk prior to the lesson. He'd get out there and work so hard skating forward and backward. Maddie stoically hopped on the ice and worked her tail off during the lesson. Skating backwards with ease, doing drills, shooting pucks - she'd come of the ice cool as a cucumber while the other kids rolled off with beet red faces. But, we made it to the end and Theo was secretly glad to be in day 5 of a fever so he could skip his lesson (he wasn't feverish when I dragged him to practice, we just had to get out of the house). A vending machine treat of WHATEVER candy you want eased the pain of watching the lesson.
