Up and down.

-The good, we received a pair of nearly new black ice skates for Lucas last night at the ice rink.
-The bad, had to frog most of a complete sleeve because I was totally off in my row count.
-The ugly, had an 'incident' with the daycare's psycho/shrink person, she decided to that I had a problem with one of the daycare providers. I was not and she didn't take that she was wrong too well. I HATE how there's always some 'incident' like that happening at the daycare and mostly always have... I go to give a chance to Lucas to play with other kids while I knit at the mommy & coffee meeting and crafting class. It aggravates me each time I go but it's free and I try not to expect much from them. I might not have a Ph.D but I am a good mom to my kids and do not take well anyone who assumes I am not trying my best. They made me so mad yesterday that I'm rethinking of going there, I might just send Lucas on the full days they have 2 times a month. I can always knit home and do some nicer crafts here.

Anyway, I am done knitting both sleeves and the body on the sweater for Lucas. I even went crazy with a little added stripe on the sleeves. LOL! I am knitting quickly to get this new project done to finally start something for myself. teehee! I can't wait and hope it will go as well as the shirt I've done for the kids. :)

Last night was the kids 1st skating lesson of the season, lucky Zoe got the same teen coach as last year, she was BEAMING!!! It's alot because of her coach if she advanced so quickly in the skating levels last year. She adores her coach and loved seeing her each week. It's also her coach that helped Zoe win her gold medal at the Montreal Games last april, she helped Zoe learn her 50 seconds number within a week. I couldn't be happier as I know my girl will have a great time with her coach.

Lucas is NOT with the toddlers this year and that is quite a surprise. He was in a small 3 skaters group and that suits him pretty well. He looks so tiny being only 3.5yo with two other preschoolers. He might not skate as quickly, he sure gets bonus points for giving his best the whole 60 minutes to lessons are. Not once did he not participate in an activity during the lesson, he skated around and played the full hour while many other of the younger kids cry and go out of the ice before the time is up. I'm so proud of him, he gives it his 100% and he LOVES skating. What can you ask more? :)

hugs,

Don't sweat what someone else is saying about these "incidents". If you know you are being the best, it isn't for someone else to judge your job as Mom. Everyone is going to have an opinion, that doesn't mean you have to take it. I always wish I could watch these advice givers when they are interacting with their families. Or see their children out in public. They might not be as smart as they think they are. Posted by: Chris at September 23, 2004 09:54 AM
