Skater Boy

MOMENT: Evolution of Skate

It was a process. He started more tentative than we remembered him being last year. Then we realized that he was not only much bigger (further to fall), but he was also on rink ice rather than the more roughed up canal ice he was on back in Ottawa. He and Tom took lessons together, we occasionally went to the neighbourhood rink and voila - our boy became a skater!
