Taj has a new winter hobby, make that
hobbies!!! ICE SKATING and skiing! We took him ice skating for the first time right after Christmas, and Babi and Deda came with us to witness it. We set up a play date on ice with one of Taj's buddies, Kaelyn. It was the kids' first time on ice. I totally expected Taji to get anxious and nervous trying something new based on past experience, but 'lo and behold, he surprised us all!
He was all smiles, and LOVED it! He was such a pro that he enjoyed using the trainer and kept going without giving up. He also had no problem walking around in the skates off ice, no trouble balancing.

Then, just a mere 2 1/2 weeks after his first 'go', Taj returned to the ice for a second skate date with Kaelyn and his other girl friend Caroline! This time, Taj used the trainer all on his own, and he was fast! He was so confident that midway he decided he didn't want to use the trainer and instead preferred to hold my hand and Caroline's hand. They skated hand-in-hand, and also shared the trainer. It was so sweet! I love that ice skating makes him this happy, it sure is fun to have this as a winter activity/ hobby! I'm also amazed at how open and confident he is at trying all these new sports! Such a go-getter!!
