Tucker has decided to start taking ice skating lessons.
Here’s some video’s from his first time on the ice:

At his third lesson Tucker was learning how to stop and balancing on one skate (very briefly).
The tot hockey classes start at age 4. His coach said she’s comfortable starting him early because he’s already surpassed the skills that kids usually learn in the beach babies class. Which basically is how to fall and get up. Looking at these videos now three weeks out it occurs to me he barely fell at all during his last practice.
