When J was in skating, when he hit the pre-freestyle level (finished with the basic level classes, about ready to go into higher level "program with music" courses), he would come off the ice and, if pressed would say what he learned. He seemed interested in it as something he was good at, but didn't seem enthusiastic for the moves themselves. It was a challenge.

K is now at that level, albeit having reached it at an earlier age (by a couple of years) than J. He comes off the ice glowing "We did pivots! That was so much fun!" He loves it not simply because he's good at it, but for its own sake. He's really fun to watch. He wants to be on the ice.

Today, he went around humming the Olympic theme.

Tonight, we were listening to the portion of "Rent" that I have deemed suitable for his tender years, and he said, "If you knew enough moves, you could totally do Rent on ice." "Rent on ice." "Yeah, except all the soccer moms who brought their kids would get mad at the bad language."

"Rent on Ice." Now, there's a thought.

I was thinking about him while I watched the olympics. :) I can totally see him on the ice. He's got the charisma & energy!

LOL! He's a great kid. "Rent on ice", in some ways, is the perfect blending of traits of each of his parents.

Incidentally, I called Nancy tonight, wanted to wish her well on her upcoming surgery, and we ended up talking about what a great kid K is, and how heart-stopping his fearlessness and daredveil antics can be.

Broadway show tunes, daredevil speeds, possibility of glory or cracked head...

Yeah. I'd agree with that assessement. :^D

And yes, he's a great kid. Allegra loves him too.

Just a note: 1cricketsong (my youngest) said to me yesterday as she was reciting all the people in our "community", you know, K is a really good friend. We're the same age and we get along well. I really like him."

It was a nice recommendation and I thought I'd pass it along.
