Ski Boot Camp!

We went skiing (again???? as my friends have said to me recently) and enrolled Wyatt in, not one, but two days of ski school. He had a great teacher, didn't seem more than a kid himself, but he was one of the most positive people I ever met, and whatever happy drug he was taking, I want some. I didn't hear a single cross word any of the times I was spying, oops, I mean observing him, while he was teaching my son and about 3 other 4 and 5 year old kids.

Day one in the Tiny Tracks class was great, but I could tell Wyatt was the youngest of the group and just couldn't quite perfect that slow plow thing. But he still skied for 4 hours and listened to everything his teacher told him. By the morning of day 2, Wyatt was hesitant to go back. It was a lot like swim school, those first couple of classes when he realized that there was some "work" involved. But our teacher told us that after lunch, he was really taking off and the other kids were following Wyatt's slow plow example!

We thought for sure Wyatt would be too exhausted to ski a run with us after the class, but he ended up skiing four runs with us on the bunny slope! It was such a great feeling to ski down a mountain with my four year old, parents, and Byron. It was a great day, and I can't wait to do it again (again????? Yes, next week, as a matter of fact!)
