I'd Say Luck Is On My Side

I think I am in love.

With Aspen's skis that is. The only thing that could make those skis any cuter is Aspen herself wearing them. But see, that is where my love affair ends. The thought of her skiing is okay, the equipment, well, you see it's adorable, but the reality of it frightens me.

Sure Kyan has been skiing since he was 2 which means I really have no problem with the actual skiing part.

But, what if she likes it? I mean what if she really likes it?

For me skiing was something I did because my parents swore to me that when I was in high school and college I would thank them.

Um, yeah, well...I hate the cold weather and sore legs.

So, if she really likes it, it means my status as a Lodge Bunny Extraordinaire is officially over. And, I am not sure I am quite ready to relinquish that title.

Not sure if you are aware but boys and girls are very different. In fact my two children are so different that if I wasn't sure I'd given birth to both of them I'd think that they had different parents. Aspen at 2 is excelling at fine motor skills. Kyan at 2 was excelling at gross motor skills. It can probably be argued that skiing takes both.

So, while I am over here praying that Aspen decides she may want to wait a little longer before starting her skiing career, my husband is praying that the girl he named "Aspen" will love skiing more than he does.

The odds are probably 50-50 but I'd like to think that I know her better.

Plus, I love to be right. I guess we'll know by next week.
