I decided I would research possibly having Aidan and Brennan take ice skating/hockey lessons at a local rink. Chris and I were excited by the idea and thought the boys would love it.
I was wrong. Partly.
When I asked Aidan about possibly learning hockey, he told me he wasn't interested.
"No?" I asked surprised.
"No. I don't want to take hockey. I just like to watch it. I do like to skate though." Aidan replied.
"Okay. I have you signed up for soccer still, is that okay?"
"Oh, I love soccer! And I want to play basketball too! Just not hockey."
"Why not hockey?"
Aidan's eyes grow wide as he responds, "In hockey, they slam you and try and get you to fall. I don't want to do that. It hurts. I also don't ever want to play football. That hurts too. Just soccer and basketball."
Okay, then. Note to self - no hockey for Aidan. The next morning, I put the same question to Brennan.
"Hey B I was thinking of signing you up for lessons to learn to play hockey and ice skate. Would you want to do it?"
Brennan jumped up in joy and ran over to hug me in glee. After he hugged me, he pumped his fist in the air and said, "Yes, HOCKEY!" He jumped up and down a bit in excitement. After a minute, he turned to me and said with seriousness, "I also want to play football, okay Mom?"
I should have guessed that with three boys we are bound to have each sport covered.
