Kenzi starts Skating lessons...

OK, so if you have been reading this blog you know how into Hockey our family is. And some people may ask does Kenzi like hockey because of her parents or does she like it. Well, let me tell you. She has been exposed to hockey because of Carter and I, no doubt. However she was glued to the 1st game she saw. Hands on the glass, face hanging over, could not pull her away even after the game was over. We have also taken her to a Mavericks basketball game. IT was the same situation where we were in a box and there was free food, and "copcorn". (yes she still calls it that) She was more occupied with eating popcorn and the star up in the ceiling then the game. (The star is what the Stars players skate through when they first come on the ice.) We have not taken her to baseball or a football game live yet, but I am sure that they will turn out the same. So given that information Kenzi keeps talking about playing hockey. I got talking with a mom that both of her children play. She let me know what to do and so we checked it out. The first two pictures are Kenzi desperately watching when I am trying to sign her up. The following pictures are her actually trying. At this point she has had 3 lessons and is improving. They have passed her off on standing on ice. She is getting way better at marching and she doesn't need the "walker" anymore. Though falling she has down but the getting up is still a challenge. Which is totally understandable given that most people I know can't do that on regular ground! The last two classes she has gotten off the ice 20 minutes into her 30 minute class and says she done. We have been able to convince her to finish the class and then she says she wants to be "mommy's boy". (Marty Turco from the Dallas Stars.) And if you get her talking about it she will talk for days, so we will see if she can make it long enough to actually play hockey. And yes she insists on wearing her Pluto jersey. And the last class she was so distracted by the hockey players that she was half listening to the directions! Later, Kari
