...and the OBSESSION gets deeper

The boy is obsessed, possessed and definitely has a bit of the ol’ North Dakota in him. As most of you know the only thing Ian can focus on for longer than 2 minutes is “Go-Go”. Well, he has now been to multiple games of his cousin Liam this year, and still can’t get enough. Some kids have a blanket or stuffed toy as a lovey, not this kid he has a hockey stick. He has just started to say “hockey” instead of “go-go,” but has been saying puck, face off, stick, net and goal for quite a while…what’s more he knows what they are and how they all work together! Daily I hear “No goal Mama” and “in the net” and “Face off!” – where he requires someone to drop the puck/ball in a predetermined spot on the kitchen floor. Crazy kid :-) So we decided to finally take him skating….with skates that were 2 sizes too big he immediately jumped off the bench and started walking (not knowing that it should be a bit hard I guess). We hit the ice, and he was in heaven. We still had to hold him up because he couldn’t keep his weight in front of him and kept falling back off his heels, but he did AWESOME! Of course he couldn’t give up his lovely hockey stick so we had to hold him on one side under his arm, not so good on the back! While I was trying to make sure he didn’t fall we went pass the face off hash marks, and he said “Face off Mama!” When it was time to go it was as if the world was coming to an end, I think all of Windsor knew he wasn’t happy. Such a goofy kid…where does he get it all from???
