The First Hockey Game

Kristyn and Joe gave us tickets to the hockey game last Saturday night - awesome seats I might add - thanks so much! Nicholas absolutely loved it! His eyes were glued on the game the whole time! He watched the puck go back and forth, asked questions, and wanted to know when he could play hockey, too. A player went down and it looked like he hurt his face. Nicholas asked what happened and I said sometimes the players get hurt, that's why they wear the helmets and pads. He has told everyone about the hockey player who feel down and hurt his face. I think he was really impressed with the Lightning!

The List

I have mentioned the Christmas list that has already begun. The list is going to fill an entire notebook at this rate. Every time we see something in the store, on TV, in a magazine or in a catalog, it has to go on the list. Santa's sleigh is not going to be able to carry all of these things!

Tricky Skates

Nicholas has been taking skating lessons for about 14 weeks now. He moved up to the next class with his friends Max and Sebastien and life is pretty good for him. Until today that is. He must have asked a hundred times if he could use "tricky skates" aka hockey skates and I said no over and over and over. Before he can use hockey skates he needs to be able to skate without any problems in the figure skates. When we left the rink tonight, the new questions was did I put tricky skates on his Christmas list. I guess he just really wants to use those tricky skates, maybe it's because he wants to be like Steven and Uncle Markie. (And to answer the question running through your mind as you are reading this, yes, there is a Christmas list already!)

Is my hair still spiked?

It sounds like a cute question, doesn't it? Not so much when you hear it every two minutes on the way to school every morning! We spike his hair everyday, it looks so cute! Those little freckles combined with the spikes, it's just so adorable I can't stand it! The only problem is the repeated question - Is my hair still spiked? Is my hair still spiked? I try to liven it up by answering no but after he replies "You're just kidding!" The question just pops back up again!
