Who Would Have Thought

I end up asking this question quite often at the end of the day. Who would have thought you would be able to play lacrosse? Who would of thought you would thrive off your peers? Who would have thought you would be potty trained? Who would have thought you would love clam linguine? Who would have thought you would have a spark in your eyes and a jump in your step? Who would have thought you would be the little boy you are today?

Today though, I am wondering, "Who would have thought you could ice skate?" I was so very proud of you tonight and shocked at your "skill." I was expecting a battle, tears, tantrums, and in the end a lot of time sitting on the cold ice while you came to terms with this new adventure.




Boy was I ever wrong. You never stopped laughing and it was contagious. A few instructors came up to me to tell me how much fun it seemed you were having. You wanted me to stay behind you and have a hand on your chest but you did all the work. You ended up pulling me all over the ice. When you did fall you were (surprisingly) able to stand back up on your own! (video below is one of the first times you fell and getting back up)



I am hoping this will be a great workout for you twice per week and also allow you to continue to build your core strength which is so desperately needed. It is wonderful to know that I can continue to provide you opportunities and that you and I can take new risks.

So, Who would have thought you could ice skate?..... It doesn't matter because no matter what we think you continue to prove us wrong on a daily basis :) You continue to grow, expand, and develop well beyond where anyone thought you would be.

Love you babes
