Skiing

We had a day off school so we took a couple of days to go skiing.We went up to Keystone. Having had Alex and Adam up in December, we knew that Alex loved to ski. He is amazing how coordinated he is on skis. Adam is a very accomplished snowboarder, so he and Dad were off boarding and skiing together. Alex and I were on the little bunny slope until Dad and Adam came by us and Alex decided to follow them down the green slope. Needless to say he got going really fast........had a wipe out and said "Hey Mom, I did it!" He was so proud of himself. I decided at that moment, we would go into town and get a ski harness that night so I could control his speed and turns without killing my arms and legs...........

His ability to understand what all needs to happen and his transitions from one thing to another are going remarkably well. He really loves to ski and will actually ski until he is falling asleep on his skis. He fell asleep as soon as we got on the gondola one day. The next day, he was falling asleep as we were skiing down the hill....He was cruising along and I noticed he was nodding off.

Adam was so excited that he caught a bunch of air and went off a jump and landed it after going about 2 feet in the air....He says it was more like 3-5......Dad would be able to tell us!

We have a major accomplish....Alex will now go to sleep in his room without me staying in there the whole time. He knows that when Adam goes to bed we will move him over to sleep in Adam's big bed or down to our sitting room......so he does fine with all of that. It is a very big deal and he seems to be getting very comfortable with his room and sleeping and with us not leaving.
He still can't understand why we just can't visit Mamaw and Papaw in Indiana anytime we want.

He thinks when we get in a car with suitcases....we will end up at Papaw and Mamaw's.
