Skating
The kids are really getting this skating thing. Hadley is starting to get more competitive and works really hard on using both feet now. (Her right foot previously stayed on the ice most of the time, Easton does this currently). She also is learning how to skate with some gliding backwards, and lift a foot while skating. These all need practice but she is starting some fun new things and it is quite enjoyable to watch.
Easton now gets up with ease. In fact he knows that he gets positive attention for doing it well so sometimes he falls on purpose.
He is also gaining great speed. He smiles or laughs when he passes someone because he is proud of himself. It is amazing to watch both of them strive to be better than the others in their class. Not in a mean way just in a self betterment way. They both received ribbons recently. Hadley got her Agility 2 ribbon and Easton got his Pre-Can Skate ribbon. It was exciting that it was on the same night. They don't wait until the end of a season, they hand them out as they are earned! I am so happy for both of them!
