Oh No!!

We tried this before... he hated it.  Little man was NOT into hockey.  He hated skating.  It was cold.  It was hard.  He was not going to do it again.  Head Honcho and I were dancing in the streets... just one hockey player in the family!! (Big Kid was not playing anymore as it interferred with laying around doing nothing his studies.) 

We made it through the first 10 weeks of the hockey season with no requests to skate.  He was happy with the unknown.  Then the truth came out.  He wanted to be on the stick side.  That is where REAL hockey is.  Not that silly learning to skate.  His friends were all there.  That is where he wanted to be.

With a LOT of warning that he would not be on the stick side and hopes that he would change his mind I made the mistake of asking him this morning if he wanted to go.  Just as I feared.  He did! 

So I begrudgingly took him and paid the registration fee and got him fitted with a helmet.  (we still had most of his equipment from his last attempt)  He went out on the ice and the instructors were impressed.  Well, not impressed, but he could stand and move a touch without tears or falling.  A feat few in his group could do.  He was so proud of himself.  He stayed out the entire practice and when asked if he would like to stay out for the second group he happily yelled "YES, I LOVE SKATING!!" Tears of terror joy rolled down my face. He was happy.  He really likes this sport! I couldn't be happier to see this face!

Welcome 2013!!

And welcome back to Mismatched Jammies!!

   Took a bit of a hiatus but I am back in 2013 and have taken on a challenge.  Everyday for 2013 I will post something about something.  (starting NOW!)

There has been lots of changes and lots of growing.  Sit back and hold on tight... it is going to be another wild ride!!
