I realised that the ice skating posts are beginning to stink. Most of the time, the class is uneventful and there is nothing much to blog about but I think they will form part of precious memory. So, I am going to press on.
And so, the class on Saturday was uneventful. Lil Shauna was tired. I can’t tell if the week of morning classes had drained her or she simply wasn't in the mood. Practice gets hard when she’s not in the form bcos she couldn't do what she has to and so we have to keep trying. The more she tries, the more tired she is and the worse it gets. It basically heads towards a downward spiral that gets us all upset. At one point, she complains that her foot is painful. Why? It is a mystery. Maybe it is time to change her skates to the white professional ones. Well, at least her spiral is slowly improving… yes, very slowly.
Teacher Raymond concentrated on her jumps this week. He seems to alternate weeks between jumps and spins. Bcos she wasn't on top, her jumps weren’t great except of a few waltz jumps that still look quite decent. At the end of the class, Teacher Raymond joking asked me to feed her frog legs so that she can jump better.
I didn't push Lil Shauna as she was visibly tired. Looking back, the most difficult point may have passed for her current skill set. There was this period that I struggled so much and even contemplated stopping her classes. Then suddenly, she improved and went beyond that stage. For now I am good. Most importantly, I am happy that Lil Shauna is proud that she can skates proficiently and enjoys ice skating.
