And so it begins..............

Three years ago, on a early October Morning as I sat in the hospital room holding my brand new baby boy, I knew that one day this boy would play hockey. I knew this because Russ told me so.

And when we got pregnant again a year later, I made sure that the new baby was a boy, so that Russ could have TWO hockey players in the family (you're welcome honey!!! lol)

Today we embarked on the first step to our (hopefully) long hockey life..... skating lessons.

Trevor was excited to lace up his skates.

He stood up and wobbly walked around the changing room exclaiming "Weeeee these things are wiggly."

Matthew came along to watch his brother. He sat up on the bleachers really nicely.......... for the two seconds it took to take this picture, then he was off running and exploring the rink, occasionally checking the ice to make sure Trevy was still there.

At first Trev had a bit of a tough time standing up. The Teacher kept trying to lift him up to standing, and Trevor let his legs go limp, it was like watching her trying to get a rag doll to stand up.

But in true Trevor style, he took his time getting used to the idea and stood up when he was good and ready.

He defiantly won't be skating laps around the rink anytime soon, but he will catch on soon enough.

Way to go Trevor!!
