Moses has been in skating lessons since January. He has learned so much and I am so proud of his effort. Not as proud as he is; if you ask him he will tell you that he is the best skater in his class and that he thinks he should be on TV like Jerome Iginlia (neither of which are true, but you've got to admire his confidence). At the end of the year they do a little performance to all the parents. Moses wasn't too thrilled about having to wear a costume. He was being moody and difficult until Scott showed him how many people were there and told him that they all had paid money to watch him (only stretching the truth slightly as they were in fact going to watch him even if they truly paid money to watch their own children skate). After he told him that he got very excited and put on his best performance! It isn't much, but when you consider he has only been going for half an hour once a week for about 7 weeks and hasn't a drop of natural athletic ability he does pretty good! (He is the last one...yes the one that is carried both ways!)
We had to go in on a special day to have this picture taken. At the time Scott and I were both so, so sick. Trying to be a good mom, I hauled Moses down to the rink to get his picture taken. Moses HATES having his picture taken, doesn't like borrowed costumes, and said his hat was too itchy. I had a fever over 100 F (38 C), a bad cough, and only half my voice. I was in no mode to fight him. The poor photogrpher didn't know what to make of this pouting kid that wouldn't smile no matter what tricks they tried. So this is the picture from his first ever Claresholm Skating Carnival!
Now that Moses is a skater (using the term loosely), Scott can take both boys to the rink at the same time as he did this last Family Day (a holiday here in Alberta on the 3rd Monday in Feburary). It's nice to see a picture with Moses happy!
