More Firsts
All three of our schools (Garfield, Grace, and Concordia) were off on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Jonathan offered to watch the children all day so that I could work. It didn't happen that way, but that's another story . . .Jonathan took the children to the Loop for some ice skating at Millenium Park. To avoid parking hassles, they took the "L," with Kola experiencing it for the first time. He loves trains!
While Jonathan explained their outing to me later, he also recounted the day for Kola. Jonathan didn't know the word for "ice skating," so he used the word for ice and made a skating motion with his hands. Rather than giving his dad the Ukrainian word, Kola just called it the "place where I fell a lot!"
He did enjoy his time there, however. Despite the cold weather and two hours of intense exercise, he never gave up. Rachel asked him if he had ever skated in Ukraine. He told her no, but that he knew about ice skating from TV: "I saw it on the Tom and Jerry cartoons!"
