A New Skill

Anyone who's had a three year old boy, or spent any amount of time with one, knows the true meaning of the word "Energy." Well, winter hits around here and everyone gets confined to the indoors for the mud season and then even for some of the snow season because it's so cold to go outside. So as the mother of two energetic toddlers, i'm always looking for those activities that will give them a good work out and give them some direction to pour that energy into. I was so excited to come across ice-skating for Simeon. He started out not even being able to stand up on his skates without the help of the skater brace. By the second time, he was venturing out on his own and taking some laps all by himself. He loves it and I found the gold star winter activity. He might be ready to start on the pee wee ice-hockey team next year.Camille tried it out too, but wasn't quite as exuberant about it as Simeon.
