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!)
