You wouldn't believe Braden's improvement since starting hockey. He couldn't even stand on the ice during his first practice and certainly couldn't skate. Now, 4 weeks later, he is skating by himself with his stick. He is still spending about 40% of his time falling and getting back up, but what a difference! And he couldn't be happier!
During his last practice, they played a 10 minute game at the end, which he touched the puck once, after falling and randomly pushing his stick at it. After practice he immediately ran up to me and asked he scored any goals. He also asked if I saw him crash into the girl that was about the get the puck, so that she wouldn't be able to score. (Just to put your mind at ease, the girl is 2-3 years older than him, a foot and a half taller, and one of the best on his team!)
