During the month of November, we enrolled Elijah in his first set of skating lessons. The session ran for month and lessons were twice a week. I was a little worried about the falling but he seems to really like winter sports. Skiing is one of his favorite things to do and it turns out skating was ok for him too, even with the falling. He was very pleased that during the run of lessons Mama, Papa and Charlotte all made it out to watch. He made great progress and we'll consider signing up for the next session in January. In the meantime, here are some pictures on and off the ice. At the end, there's a video from his first lesson (sooo painful to watch) and from his last lesson. Yay Elijah!
