Proud moment!


Zoe wins the Gold!!! :) She skated beautifully on saturday morning, was the last one to skate in her category. I had brought a knitting project to keep me busy while we waited but nerves took over, I just couldn't even try to knit to calm down. LOL! Zoe's coach was so calm and never did my daughter feel pressured nor was stressed over this event. She was simply eager to skate and we are so proud. I tried to explain to her that we would have been very proud of her even if she hadn't marched to the top podium but she doesn't seem to understand that. She just expected to win the gold medal. Sadly the season is now officially over at the skating club. The coach she had since september really contributed to making Zoe adore this sport. If she were giving private lessons we'd be sure to hook them up again just because they both seem to enjoy each other so much. Zoe will miss her coach, if wer'e lucky she will teach again next fall. Winning the gold sure didn't phase Zoe, she was mostly excited about going to a friend's birthday party after the competition. LOL!


Oh and I couldn't resist, she received her new bike. teehee!

Now what's up with that silly word Gauge! I knitted up a bootie/slipper for Lucas but as usual my gauge was off. LOL! Ripped it out and now am doubling the yarn to see how much bigger the slipper will be this time. ;)

Have a great week!
