Sophia is such a funny little monkey. After going ice skating with the school she was determined to become an ice skater. She would ask me, with almost as much frequency, if we could go ice skating (and go to the beach and have a sleep-over at Nana's, and have a snack). I was amazed by her perseverance and finally at the beginning of this year I signed her up. Elias decided that he wanted to be an ice skater too so they both have class Saturday morning. The first class went well. We arrived 15 minutes late to a half hour class.
The kids were excited, they skated and then class was over. We started to unlace our skates with many a tear in Sophia's eyes when somebody informed us that the kids were allowed to skate for two hours with the lessons. Yippee all was well. The kids got back on the ice and remarkably Sophia's cheeks didn't freeze from crying. After such a wonderful first experience I assumed the kids would be enthusiastic every week but it got a bit colder outside and that means that the inside of the ice skating rink is colder too. Sophia has not yet put on her winter padding and she has the bad idea that if she is cold she should stay very very still. Elias has some animal instinct that keeps him moving the whole time and he therefore stays warm but Sophia tries to huddle into herself and warm her core by shivering. This was not so much fun. During the lessons Sophia seems fine and afterwards Elias is happy to skate but Sophia just stands in one place whimpering because of the cold. So now we are back down to sleep-overs, the beach, and snacks. Oh, and legoland.
