The Wife has had a couple of tough hockey practices of late. She went down on her side hard earlier this week during a scrimmage. Then, yesterday, she went down on her rear, snapping her head back onto the ice. But she got up both times and soldiered on. She’s even planning on playing in the exhibition game this Sunday. For someone who didn’t spend much of her life involved with sports, the “toughness” aspect seems to come pretty naturally.
The boy has been marching steadily forward with his Martial Arts training. He’s now earned his 5th belt, a blue-green, belt. That’ll put him at the highest rank for the current children’s class that he’s in. He’ll also be a pretty young blue-green belt from what I’ve seen. Watching him during his “graduation” tonight, he’s clearly grown in his confidence.
The lass started practicing for her “Big Show.” That would be for her dance class. It’ll actually be a real recital. When she started her dance lessons, it was at the local YMCA and the teacher would, at the end of the 8 class session, have a big show where the kids would perform a little 5-minute dance to some kind of Disney princess song. They were referred to as “The Big Show.” She’s been taking a more formal dance class this year, so she’ll get a more formal recital. She enjoyed her Big Show’s, I’m guessing she’ll enjoy her recital as well.
As for me, it’s just steady as she goes.
One reply on “Quick Home Notes”
After dance class I asked the lass what she did in class. Her response “mommy, I can’t tell you because it will ruin the surprise at the recital. Mommy, I get to dance on a stage! (big smile)”
