Skating and Swimming

Thursday was Henry's last day of ice skating class. He did really well, especially considering he missed about half of the classes for a myriad of reasons. He can now skate and turn very quickly, skate backwards, and thoroughly goof off on the ice with his friends without falling over. Bad pictures due to the scarred plexiglass around the rink:

(the poor kid's snow pants are so short and about 2 sizes too small now..but I refuse to buy new winter gear this year!)

And today was Elliot's first swim lesson! We were assuming this would be an epic disaster because A) Elliot hates water (bath time ins an unpleasant endeavor) and B) he hates strange adults. But he did really well! Slight hesitation going in with his teacher, but he was soon kicking and playing around in the water having a great time.
