Ice Skating Lesson 12

We had our ice skating lesson on Saturday morning.  Lil Isaac obediently stayed home bcos Daddy Lim would be bringing him to the Taekwondo trial in the afternoon. Of course Mr iPad made a good companion as well.

Lil Shauna and I had our bfast and made our way to the rink. It was crowded. I can't wait for the series of promotions to be over.

Fortunately, we were still able to practice whatever that we needed to before Lil Shauna went for her class. Lil Shauna did fairly well for her lesson. A large part of the class was spent refining the moves that she had learnt. Arms a little bit higher here, head up (as usual), legs up at this angle. I wonder, when will all this become natural to her. She was smiling quite smile during class and seemed to have a good time with Teacher Raymond though.

I realised that some people are just natural. I have seen quite a few figure skaters who basically learnt very quickly and precisely. They of course become very good skaters in very short time. Just on Saturday, we saw a girl (probably max 10 yo) in core 4 and she was doing front crossovers so steadily, even more so than Lil Shauna. I guessed the not nature ones just need a lot more hard work. Way to go, baby!

We would only have 2 lessons in June. As much as possible, I have been keeping her lessons to alternate weeks, thinking that I could practice with her on the weeks that she has no lesson and could fasten the process. Maybe she has moved beyond what I could help bcos we couldn't seem to get the precision that she needed though she definitely benefitted from the practices when I am in the rink. Maybe we have to increase the frequency in July. Ouch, my pocket.

Jia you baby. For now, I am just so glad that she still enjoys ice skating very much.
