Week One was a bit of a shock to Meghan. Daddy was playing in a baseball tournament and was not able to be there. Since this is her special thing that she shares with Daddy, that alone was a big enough blow. Plus when she got there she realized that there was no socializing and she couldn't be "special". And, since there were so many kids, she wouldn't be playing in the mall, like we promised her, but in a real arena. On the plus side she did spend most of the time on her feet and learned how to get up quickly when she fell down. Although she made it to the end of the session, I wasn't sure we'd ever be able to get her back 
Week Two Daddy was back on board and Meghan was willing to give it another try. There was marked improvement. Meghan spent more time on her feet. Although she was still walking/running. Her favourite part was chasing and shooting the puck. And she figured out that she could shoot the pylons when she got bored (she couldn't keep up with the other kids). In this video, Meghan is wearing a white jersey. She has black skates with white laces, a black helmet, and baby pink tape on her stick. She's intentionally staying at the back of the pack (about two kids in on your right).
In this exercise, the kids were to skate and stop on command, then turn and skate back when chased by the instructor. This was the fourth or fifth time through so Meghan had gotten wise to what was going on and didn't skate too far up the ice. We tried to capture her Scooby-Doo initial speed burst after the turn but were unsuccessful this time around. This time we got a fall instead, but at least you can see how fast she gets up. I can't get up that fast - way to go Meghan!
