First trip to the slopes for the little man. As you can see, he was quite comfortable (at times). Admittedly, dad did a less-than-stellar job of bringing things that would make him feel at home (e.g. any toys--at all..., familiar videos, etc...). As such, there was an inordinate amount of sugar ingested over the weekend...

First day was really not productive. Dad (allegedly) forgot to feed Max breakfast so, by late morning, he was non-communicative and in a less-than-stellar mood. However, his little partner failed to show on day 2 (they pair the kids up and assign them instructors) so he effectively got a half-day, one-on-one lesson. Huge strides and he's ready for the pony lift now.

He came to us last night and told us that his teacher at preschool took his money and he didn't have any left for ski school. We assured him that he would be going back and we just confirmed reservations for the 18th. He's stoked...and so is dad.
