HOCKEY!

Nothing makes me happier than to see this picture!

2 months ago Magnus was fretting the fact that his 5 year old son was not going to have a "hockey upbringing". Now he's standing in our living room in full hockey gear ready to head to his first real hockey training with coaches and all.

Every Tuesday night at 7 PM (!) Max and Magnus heads to the rink for 1.5 hour of practise. They were 3 kids with 3 coaches yesterday and Magnus is very impressed with the coaches skills and work. He thinks Coach Han has played for the Chinese national team which is exciting. They love the kids but they are tough!   After 45 minutes of practise yesterday Max had started crying a little as his ankles and legs were aching. They went off the ice for a few minutes to have some apple juice but it didn't last long - Max was back on the ice in a heart beat, skating like a master. His buddy Jimmy also cried, but only becuase his parents dragged him off the ice after 2 hours of pracise and he wanted to skate more...

When Max got home that night he was beaming. He loves to play hockey and it warms my heart so much I can't even begin to tell you all! First of all becauase my son has found something he loves to do - and it doesn't have the name Star Wars attached to it - but also because I know how much this means to Magnus!

More pics from the first day of hockey practise!

Cheers!

Happy Hockey mom
