September 9th / Jayden's birthday and Skating
Today is my nephew Jayden's birthday. He turns six! I was so glad to celebrate with him recently.
Today after school the kids and I went to get their skates sharpened before their first lesson tonight. Hadley did amazing. She tried forward, backward and jumping, as well as touching her toes and the like with confidence. Easton shows clear ability to do everything but falls more often than he would like. He is registered in the Canskate program (5-8 year olds) instead of the Kindercan (3 and 4 year olds) which he should be in as Kindercan is during his school time. At age three he falls into that funny gray area for extra curricular activities as some kids are in school and some are not. I am grateful that they allowed him in the same time slot as Hadley (5 -8 year olds) and I think it will only take a few weeks for his confidence to build up.
Both kids did fantastic!
There was a sale tonight on skating outfits and Hadley has been asking for an outfit for three years! So, tonight we bought her her first outfit. She was over the moon happy with it.
A sensible black with long sleves and a purplish splash of colour around her stomach with a little skirt. Super cute!
