Day 10 {Little}

My little friend, Aaron. I watched him, his brother and two other children up on the mountain today while their parents went snowboarding.

Little Steps

It takes a lot of courage to try something new but, even once you get past the first time jitters you still have to work hard to succeed. Whether it be walking, singing, skiing; chances are you probably will not succeed your first time. You have to start with little steps and expect that you will wobble, slip, and fall a time or two.  It amazes me how young children start skiing lessons when they live in a ski resort town. At 2 or 3 years old I wouldn’t think that their little brains could figure out the coordination and timing of things that go into keeping yourself up and steady. But, I guess there is something to be said about little children and their trust of others and their fearlessness. They can take little steps and learn faster than most adults could. And in just a lesson or two they are more than willing to share their knowledge of  the “pizza” and “french fry" way of life. (terms used to teach little kids how to speed up/go and slow down, make your skis look like a pizza or a french fries)
