Future NHL Player

Matthew has had a fascination with hockey for a long time now, and has always said that he wants to be a San Jose Sharks hockey player when he grows up. We have a hockey set at home, and I must say he's got a good slapshot by now. One day we mentioned to him that he would have to learn how to ice skate someday if he really wanted to be a Shark, so of course he wants to take lessons now. Here he is at his second lesson, practicing getting up onto his feet.

Here he is concentrating very hard on getting all the way across the rink without the help of a chair.

And, the joy of accomplishment!
