we've had 2 big days in a row. brooke started ski lessons today. we take a bus up to the mountain with 11 other kids from brooke's school (ages 3-6), and then we split up into smaller groups for the ski lessons. the lessons last 1.5 hours. brooke cried nonstop for at least the first 30 minutes. at that point i was seriously questioning our judgment in enrolling her in these lessons. i tried to have as much patience as possible knowing that it would take time for her to be comfortable. after a short break during which brooke was able to bond with her ski instructor (young female, thank heavens!), she jumped right up and was ready to put on her skis. no more crying. no more whining. she just got up and did it. i was so proud of her. she was really quite good on skis. i can't wait to see what she can do at the end of 6 weeks.
