She’s no Tanya Harding or Nancy Kerigan… June 3, 2009

Posted by spacemom in : Kids , trackback

She only had one crying fit before we left. I think she was nervous. I brushed her hair and put it in a bun. She and Jay went off to the ice rink for early check-in. Soleil and I followed. When we got to the rink, she was being taken to the player’s bench with her coach. She was chewing the sleeve of her jacket, another nervous habit. There was a short warm up time and she did her skills, warming up.

Then it started. She was called first and did her skills. The 2 foot glide, forward and backward swizzles, and all sorts of other moves that I have no clue what they are called.

 

 

She did her best and wasn’t shaky at all. When she finished, she did trip over the blue line, but she shook it off, got her jacket on and watched the other kid at her level.

 

 

We took her outside to warm up. Then to Dunkin’ Donuts for a treat (and for me to have coffee).

And when we got back, she got her "gold" medal for first place!

Wow, go Luna!! That is really cool, and even cooler that she did it by herself, without a stageparent (or whatever they’re called in iceskating) pushing her to do it.
