A Perfect 10

We missed last week's skating lesson. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't pick Sam up in time and we were 15 minutes late (for a 30-minute lesson) so we just punted the whole thing. I think that was a mistake. In the first lesson all the kids used walkers to navigate the ice. It was more free play than skating. Well, apparently, last week, the session we missed, they went straight to Hamill-Camels.

It was fairly evident that Sam had missed a week. No walkers this week, just 'quit yer bawling and get up!' Bryon circled the rink, giving an enthusiastic thumbs up every time Sam fell. That is until Joy, the joy-less instructor, came off the ice and said "Not to be rude, but he cries every time he sees you."

I'm sure there will be some candy or toy bribes needed to get him onto the ice next week.
