A blog about skating...from the view of an adult skater. Sometimes I'll write about my own skating journey or about my adventures on my Synchronized Skating team. Other times, I'll write about my own observations as the Ice Monitor at the Ice Rink where I skate. And still other times, I'll write about skating in general, Team USA, the Olympics, or other skating. For now, the names of the coaches and students at the Rink are pseudonymns, but if you know my rink, you'll quickly recognize who is who.

Chloe

I have my first private student. Her name is Chloe and she is by far the most adorable child on the planet. She's 2 years old. She was in my Tot 1 class on Saturday mornings and she just loved everything so much that her Mom wanted to keep her skating during the break between classes, so I have a private student. She was so cute today on the ice. She had never been on the ice with kids doing jumps and spins and programs before so, she was very easily distracted and kept turning her head to watch everything going on instead of watching what we were doing, but she did great! We had a really good time during our lesson and she did really well. I'm trying to teach her how to swizzle, which is taking some patience, but her marching is great and when she's even just barely holding my hand she marches so fast that she's almost really stroking already, which is pretty awesome. Spending 30 minutes on the ice with Chloe made my whole day just wonderful.
