This past Sunday was a big day for Konnor as he got to enjoy his first hockey lesson. He has been begging to learn how to play hockey for about three years now and we are finally doing it! He was anxiously awaiting Jeff's arrival home after being gone all day to help him get ready and desperately wanted him there to help dress him in the locker room, too. We got some photos (probably the only ones I will ever get away with taking in the boys' room!).
He had so much fun (with the exception of a helmet that was a bit too tight but he didn't let that stop him)!!!!! And Jeff surprised him with buying him a new stick of his very own (since all the rest of his equipment is hand-me-downs from his older stepbrothers) and that meant a lot much to him.
He worked very hard and is determined to be good at this. He's got six more lessons and chances are we will sign him up again just to get him more practice. We'll also be attending at least one public skate a week so Konnor can practice his hockey stops, crossover turns, etc.
I got teary-eyed watching him on the ice -- he is just growing up so fast!! He looked like a natural out there, though! Enjoy the pictures....
