Owen started a learn to skate program at the community centre. He has had four, hour long lessons so far, & we notice improvement with each lesson. The program divides children into groups based on ability & he is in the very beginner class. There are kids that range in age from 5 years to 10 years & he looks so small on the ice compared to the older kids. I'm so happy with the program and already am looking forward to having Noah take lessons as well next year. There are ten lessons in total, & I'm sure he'll be skating by the end of them.
first day of learn to skate lessons.
Whoops!
The first lesson they mostly focused on "getting up" from the ice :) the kids were to toss a ring "skate" towards it, fall on the ice & get back up.
Owen loves the hockey portion of the lessons. He's been asking to play hockey for a few months now & we agreed that if he was still interested next year, & after his learn to skate lessons that we'd sign him up for hockey next year. He actually calls his skating lessons "hockey lessons" lol. So fun to watch him learn new things and to see him really enjoy something:)

Great program! I need to look into this next year for Hannah too now that I know Mommy doesn't have to don skates! ;o)
He's doing really well at getting back up. Not easy. Way to go Owen!!
