In February, we took the Alec-gator for his first ski experience. He showed a lot of enthusiasm for the sport, tempered somewhat by the foot pinching pain of the ski boots. He was glad to ride the lifts (reported by him afterward as being the "best part"), and hit the slopes with his ski instructor Emily. He did run into some trouble due to one leg being stronger than the other (causing him to veer to the right, a lot) and about 45 mins into the lesson, he called to me over his shoulder "Mom - signing me up for this ski lesson wasn't too good of an idea". Still, he was full of confidence after the fact, replying to someone who said that he could learn even more the next time by sticking out his chest and reporting "Are you kidding? I already know Pizza, Little Pizza and French Fries". We'll be back in 2012.
