I've been slacking off again.. Haven't written on the blog in a long, long time. I'll pick up where i left off about Miss Haana putting in a lot of effort in her poster for the art competition up at school called Reflections.
The school announced the winners mid November, and after a lot of waiting for each category, it was finally time for announcing the winners for the painting category. My little Miss Haana won an award for her painting called 'Its all within reach'. We took pictures, and a very proud little Haana posed for pictures in front of her displayed art work at school.
Today we went to an outdoor ice rink, and the little girl wanted to ice skate. She's been to just 1 ice skating class which was at least 2, and maybe 3, years back. She knows roller skating but not with inline skates. So i was apprehensive. I went over the basics of how to stops, but i think she was too excited to care what i was saying. I hoped she doesn't fall too often. She was to go into the ice rink by herself.
She wobbled as she put on the skates, and i cringed about how it might go. But then, she got in the rink, wobbled a bit, didn't fall and just like that, started skating. She wasn't holding on to the sides, she was really skating. I was amazed at her and watched her go with simply amazed, dazed happiness. I was reminded of my own attempts at trying ice skating, which weren't exactly very successful, but weren't disastrous either. All i need is a little more practice which would need a lot more dedication!
And, i think i need to find little Miss Haana some ice skating classes too in the future.
