After several visits to the hospital, the doctor and the physiotherapist she's still waiting for an MRI scan to see what she actually did to her knee when she fell, but in the meantime today she was finally brave enough to try skiing for the first time this season.
Several things needed to be organized to make this happen, including changing the date of my parent-teacher interview at school, finding someone to pick up Ollie from preschool and play with him for a while, dad sorting out some work stuff...and of course the weather had to co-operate too.
So here we are - photographic evidence that i have the BEST parents. Sunshine, the mountain virtually to ourselves, our first picnic in the new car (mom remembered the hot chocolate).....and all on a school day :)
I was a bit worried at first that mom was just going to ski around in a circle, as she didn't seem to be turning very well on her bad knee, but after a couple of runs she seemed to get the hang of it. I discovered today that i actually only need one ski at a time as i skied across the slope with one foot in the air. Parallel turns, here i come!
