Last year, there was loads of work involved in hiking both Alec and his sled up hills so he could rip down them. This year, not so, as demonstrated by the photo - 100% self sufficient.
Alec so enjoyed his Valentine's Day event at school this year. He was outrageously excited when we picked him up from school, anxious to show us his "loot" and advise us that he had done a lot of dancing.
