Avril, eat your heart out. I'm super psyched, Lux is FINALLY taking an
interst in skating (and not the blading kind, thank you). I've been
playing some videos, and he was starting to like them, a bit. Then we had
a small talk, about him wanted to learn. I think he was afraid of the
hurt factor, so we talked, and decided he needed gear, head to toe. He
already had a helmet, so that was good. Yesterday, $30 later, he now has
kneepads, elbowpads, and wrist guard. He even got himself an Alien
Workshop Tee. I have a bunch of boards around, so he got to pick one out
for himself.
We only skated for about 5 mins, mostly him jumping off the board and
testing his falling. He liked the fact that it didn't hurt. Slowly, yes
we will move slowly on this, I'm not going to push him, and turn him off
or scar him for life (sorry Ted, I was younger then).
Anyhow, I can't wait until he can push off on his own, that might be some
time, and he wants to go to the skatepark with me, but we will see.
Proud momment in my parenting career.
XXOO,
