I learned to ski when I was 4 and 3rd M now has me beat by 2 years. Last weekend we went up skiing with some friends and while I was on the mountain 2nd M rented 3rd M everything he needed to get on the snow. He loved it from the first turn.

When he got to the bottom after the first run he said more. I then took him up on the magic carpet and we came down with a little more speed.

At the bottom he said FASTER. After lunch he ran up to his skis and tried to put them on all by himself.

The first day was just about having lots of fun. Mission accomplished.

Some day we hope to get him to wear his gloves.
