Little C Skiing

OK it's been ages since I've posted.  But here are our latest adventures.

We spent Christmas vacation week learning how to teach little C to ski with a local ski area, Cochrans.  We were in a 4 day program, with a group of other children (ages 3-5) and their parents.  We had 3 or so instructors and got 1 run with them a day.  The first day we worked with an instructor towords the end of the day and they told us we could go ahead and ski backwards with little C skiing on her own with a tip lock, but that the next day we would work on taking the tip lock off.  Little C totally got the wedge and putting her skis on edge.
The second day we took the tip lock off after 2-3 runs our run with the instructor had us working on just playing follow the leader with little C, no more skiing backwards in front of her.
Day 3 there was no run with an instructor - nothing else to teach her, just log ski time.
Day 4 - More ski time, we took 1 run through cones with the instructor - not really educational, just fun.  Little C was skiing with an Olympic gold medalist!!!!

Little C's stamina has increased and she shows a lot of control when on the slope, she still needs to learn the fine points of skiing etiquette and responsibilities.  But she is doing great.  We plan on checking out Cochrans a few more times this season for their lollipop races - just so she can try them out. 

And now for the photos & Video.

Potty Update - The Last

We are potty trained, nighttime and daytime.  We've been potty trained for some time, I think I realized we were totally done when little C started using public bathroom stall all by herself, and daycare sent home her nap-time pull-ups, which she hasn't used for about a month or a little more.

So here it is a big step in her development and I can't really pin point a time or date when it actually happened, except to say about 2 months ago.

105

We've been very busy and little C is growing so fast.  We've had a winter full of skiing, family and holidays.

We've finally bought a Wii and the Wii fit plus and it's a very fun way to be more active.  Plus on those dark cold winter nights, rainy afternoons and while dinner is cooking we can play together as a family.  Little C loves bowling, likes golf and is currently enjoying biking on the Fit and our new skiing game, and like real life she seems to like the lift ride as much or possibly more that the skiing.

Little C first played the Wii bowling at her grandparents house in January, and she has been steadily improving.  Tonight she and big C played and while big C had a mediocre game little C got her best score yet, 105.

We love watching her learn and grow and improve.  She is growing into an amazing little girl.
