Last week after B's ski lesson his instructor told us that his skills weren't progressing and that he might get demoted into a different group while his current class moved on to bigger and better things.
Hoping to avoid demotion, I took B back to the magic carpet for some practice the next day while Kar and the big guys did some actual skiing on the mountain. At one point that morning Kar asked how it was going and I texted back, "A+ for attitude. D- for skills." As our day began, his instructor's assessment seemed sadly accurate. But we persisted and eventually turned a bit of a corner and even decided to go on the lift for the first time (the Kokomo lift that LT called it "Coconut Tower" when he was B's age) where five runs later his brothers would join us for a first ever having all three brothers ride the lift at the same time.
