Waiting for David's lesson to start:
Mary was such a good sport and went with me to take David to his ski lesson so Greg could have some quiet study time. She was so proud to be with David and kept encouraging him to practice. I was proud of David too--he is so much more comfortable on skis now!
Waiting for David's lesson to end:
Mary wanted me to take a picture of her (with her arms inside her jacket) while we were waiting for David's lesson to end. You can see David way in the background.
David has mastered the tow lift and the bunny hill. Next time, he'll be riding the chair lift with the best of them!
P.S. Let's be clear. David isn't a natural. Shh. Don't tell him though. For the last couple of lessons, he has been the only student. Because he has no one to compare himself to (unlike the rather demoralizing basketball experience), he has no clue he's not catching on especially fast. He can only compare himself to himself--and he can see that he's getting better. Which is what matters. So it's been good. (Plus, David's instructor had so much fun goofing around with David that he begged me to bring David back this week for another lesson so they could hang out again. I guess my son is Mr. Personality!)
