Mom had a good idea: teach the kids to ski! Who wouldn't think that's a good idea? We live in a freakin' winter wonderland. It's practically a requirement to live here.
Who wouldn't think it's a good idea? Her name is Maddie. That her with that beaming smile up top. That smile has not always been there. When first presented with the idea, she was...resistant. She wanted no part of that story.
But Mom could not be convinced otherwise. She got the kids new (used) skis and lessons at Snowbasin. Yet, Maddie did not love it. She even cried at the prospect.
Fast forward a few lessons (with friends) and you see that cute little smile up there. She is now a skier and even asked Melanie to take her tomorrow.
As it turns out, Maddie doesn't love to try new things. I believe this is a quality she may have inherited from me (and I from my Mom). But she tackles these new things head on ALL THE TIME. What's the result? She becomes the best she can be at any given subject, giving it 100% of her time and attention until she gets it right. And get it right she will.
Anyway, this is just another great example of my kiddos kicking butt! I love it and need to learn from these cuties.
