Mini Mites

This weekend marked the beginning of Mini Mites (Hockey) for Brayden. He's wanted to do it for so long so we started him this year. He's been in regular skating lessons for over a year, but this was a totally different situation for him and outside of his little comfort zone he's been in the last year with skating. There was some apprehension, shyness, and a few tears the first day. Day two was better- he only came to give mommy a hug once, and then went back out on the ice with the coach when the balls came out that they could shoot at the nets. The coaches were great with him (and others). They were all little 4-6 year olds and they all looked so cute!!! He enjoyed it more the second day and now will not stop talking about it!! Here are a few pictures I took today, bright and early...he had to be there by 7am today. Whew. Good thing we don't get any sleep in the Sickler house anyways! :) ENJOY.
