Heath's 1st Hockey practice

First time on the ice!! It went better than we thought it would, but it was still pretty rough.

This was the thing that made it better! The coach took them out to the lobby and showed them how to fall down and then how to get back up again...best thing, should have started here!

After that happened, Heath spent a lot more time on his skates rather than on his knees.

It was pretty cute to watch him skate around with the little walker. He was so proud and kept looking back at us for approval...makes you so proud!

Our little guy going for it on the ice. One bad thing...the smallest skates that they had were three sizes too big, so we decided when we left that night to order him skates and have them delivered overnight so he would have them for the next practice!

Headed back towards us...he kept looking back at us with lots of smiles. It was so cute!

Like I said, it got better after the drop and get up lesson, but there were still some falls! Here was a pretty good one. The kids are so well padded that it would be hard to get hurt ;-)

And the last picture which I thought was so cute, right after he fell to his knees, he looked right back at us to make sure that it was okay. We gave him lots of thumbs ups that night and were cheering him on! The walkers should hopefully only be around for a couple of weeks and then they should be long gone!
