Easton starts skating lessons at 2

Now that school has started, Easton has started some new learning as well.  We have confirmed that he can read 6 words:  Easton, Hadley, Brian, Leanne, Stop and On.  He can confidently count to 13 but can get all the way to 20 with some assistance and the alphabet is no big deal.  He also knows the sounds to most of the letters.  (Insert proud mamma here).  
Also, today he started his first skating lesson.
The youngest group is 3-5 year olds but because he will be 3 during the session they allowed him in.
While he used the pylon for most of the class, the rest of the class was teaching the kids how to stand up from the ice.  
Before going on he was walking around the rubber floor with his skates on like he owned the place.  He wasn't too keen on what he thought was a tight helmet but as soon as he got on the ice he was great.
He is excited to go back next week.  We are happy that he likes it.  
His lessons are during the day while Hadley is at school.  Speaking of school.  Hadley had her presentation today and she got three check marks stating that she understood the project and on the side of the paper it had an A in a circle.  She was quite proud once I explained what the A meant.  
(Insert proud mamma again).  
One more new thing... Easton has started napping again.  The kids are up 2 and a half hours earlier than before so now on the drive to pick up Hadley, Easton usually falls asleep.   I now need to figure out how long to allow that nap so that he can still go to bed at the same time as Hadley.
