Core 3 With Zaky Lesson 2 + Ice Skating 56

Zaky and I had been looking forward to the next Core 3 lesson; lesson 1 was so fun!

The boy woke up earlier, had bfast and Popo gave him sweets early in the morning. Don't ask me why. It was probably sugar rush and he was moving non-stop, throughout the lesson! Even Teacher Raymond looked irritated and called him several times to behave. I would be irritated too. Imagine a group of well-behaved kids listening to instruction and practising hard and then this monkey skating everywhere, not listening. Arrgghhhh!

We did plenty of practice. The only new thing was the forward to backward 2-foot twist and vice versa. With that, we have learned all that are in Core 3. I remembered practicing that with Lil Shauna 2 years back.

Time to brag - I could do all of them. Teacher Raymond commented that I could actually do Core 4 and asked if I would like to join the Core 4 class instead. See, I am good. I opted to stay; it is a different joy learning ice skating with the boy. It feels like a parent and kid class that I used to attend with the kids years back. Lol.

I guessed Zaky wasn't behaving also bcos he was bored. He too could do most of the strokes and therefore monkeying around when the other kids were practicing hard. He did pay attention when he was trying to do the twists and worked hard at them. He even practice the twisting during the 2-hr practice session on his own. Well, he did manage to do what looked almost like the real thing eventually. Lol.

The 2-hour practice was less interesting this round. The older Isaac was also on the ice but Zaky didn't play with him as much. At times, he was bugging us while Lil Shauna was trying to practice. I thought she was doing quite well during practice. I think she is also encouraged that we are learning ice skating now.

Lil Shauna's class went well. The girl was exhausted after class. She was learning loop jump and didn't quite manage the real one. What matters most is that she enjoyed class. I had been trying to get her to swim laps whenever she hits the pool. I hope it helps to strengthen her legs; she still lacks so much power in her strokes.

I didn't take a single picture bcos I was kept so busy with the kids and only realised that I didn't bring my phone midway through the practice session. But never mind, we have made so many friends at ice skating that I could find so many people who could loan me their phone to call Daddy Lim. That is an achievement on its own. Lol.
