Yesterday was a day of firsts, my 1st day working and the 1st skating lesson for Lucas! :) It's hard to even say which one I am more excited about. I think seeing Lucas on the ice we the most thrilling experience of the day, though my work day comes VERY close behind. So let's start with my boy's skating.
Can I just say that Lucas was the cutest on the ice tonight? Oh my goodness, he wore his Old Navy quilted sweater and looked so spiffy, so handsome, so big boy. The skating club responsibles all thought he was irresistible. He had a BIG smile on and was eager to hop on the ice. LOL! He's adorable, by the time he got off the ice tonight he could get up on his own and started to 'skate' all by himself, mostly skate walking by dang! he was cute. He walked half of the width of the ice twice today. One of the coaches said he should be good at skating in no time, just like Zoe. I was so proud to hear it. :) Another mom said that skating must really run in the family, she couldn't believe how quickly Lucas was improving in the hour-long lesson.
I was so excited at the end of his lesson, he even received a white ribbon with something similar too: today I can skate on my own! LOL! Very sweet, the head coach said how she likes to reward them after hard work and he sure worked hard yesterday! Lucas was grinning for all the lesson, he can't wait to go skate again with his teacher, not us boring parent but with *his* teacher aka coach! Such a big boy! :) I'm so proud!!!! :) With his birthday being next month, I think we will make it extra special and bring him skating at an outside rink or another place special rink. So Lucas will be going to his lessons twice a week just like his big sis. She was so proud of him and told everyone how he was her little brother. :) They even held hands skating at the end, so sweet! :)
I haven't knitted a single stitch once again, today I have the day off so hopefully I will try to cast on the sleeve on my sweater. Carl and I will be working for the next four days so I doubt I will have much time to post or knit. I might try to update my blog in the evenings if possible. Anyway, I LOVE my job, on my 1st day worked almost 6 hours. I couldn't be more excited when they said BREAK-TIME!!!! hey, it was my 1st paid break ever. LOL! I have been very nervous though for the past week and couldn't eat more than one bite for breakfast, hopefully that will pass as we never know when our days will finish. Anyway tomorrow is a clothing store so that should be fun. :) Yesterday we worked at a Mexx warehouse counting all the clothes of their new and older collections. I scanned and counted, summer tanks, suede jackets, pants of all sorts and it was FUN!!! Carl was working in the same row as I was so it was nice to know someone close by. Our supervisor wanted us to work together so we didn't feel too lost, I appreciated the special touch! :) At the warehouse we were at least 50 auditors counting everything, next week there's one store where we will be 230 workers from the company to count a store, now THAT should be something. Everyone with their little burgandy polo shirts, we look so cute. ;)
hugs, I'll be enjoying my first day off! LOL! ;)
