Ice Skating 107

Poor Lil Shauna had to face a mummy, whose patience was super thin. After she rejected a few of my requests for this jump and that spin, I flared and told her to do the needful then. I rather read my book and play with my phone, occasionally stealing glances at her. There wasn't much time before class anyway. 

By the way, she lost her scratch spin. Don't ask me what happened or why. Zzzzz.

I didn't pay much attention to what she did in class. On days that I am short fuse, I think I m better off leaving her on her own. I saw her working on her sit spins and then flip jumps. There was 1 attempt where she was able to stand up after her sit spin but she had to use her hands to push on her lap to stand up. Nevertheless, it is a "stand up"!

After class, she said that coach Raymond said that she is almost getting her flip jump; she is almost doing a full round jump. I told her that she had to go back to ice after ice resurfacing and she knew better to argue with an irritated mummy. 

She was back on the ice for another 30 mins and the session was much better than before class. She couldn't do another full sit spin but she managed to do her loop jumps at a faster speed; something that she didn't accomplish last week. Once she got her loop jump, her confidence soared and she gave me a few more nice loop jumps. Hehe. 

We headed back to the ice this afternoon for a mere 40 mins. The practice was good. She found her scratch spins! She did a few sit spins but she had to push herself up. Nevertheless, they were sit spins! I am not sure if those extra pushes were allowed and hopefully she would get rid of them as her leg gets stronger. I was told that I should make her do squats at home. Haiz, I need a button that would push Lil Shauna to do the needful when pressed.
