Ski Boy

When Chris and I dusted off our cross country skis yesterday, Ellis would have none of the sled we planned on pulling him in behind us. He remembered the little set of skis in the garage rafters and was determined to learn. I was so proud of him - from start to finish, he did it all by himself, shuffling along, feeling the snow sliding underneath him. Unfortunately the bindings are feeling their 30 years of life and we'll probably need to get an updated pair for some real practice - soon!!

So great! Isn't it awesome when they learn how to do these things that we've loved ourselves for years? I was positively bursting with joy from the inside out when Jackson first skated this year. THEY ARE GROWING UP SO FAST!!

Oh! Also, get the book "Cross-Country Cat" for Ellis. He'll love it. :)
