Ice Skating Lessons

Will and Isa began ice skating lessons a few weeks ago with their friends Gina and Evan.  Since Gabi has to accompany my each week, one of the instructors allowed her join the little kids class (they normally have to be 3 to start).  Will is by far doing the best of our kids.  After his first class he came off the ice and said "Mommy, they said I was a little hockey player!"  He was so excited.  Isa is just having fun skating.

Today was Gabi's official first time on the ice alone!  She did amazing!  She was real shaky at first but listened well.  By the middle of the session she was standing back up on her own when she would fall.  By the end of the session, I was able to come in to join her for the "free skate" portion.  I was so proud of her!  Some of the other instructors even commented how impressed they were at how well she did given it was her 1st time on the ice!
