We miss the Olympics

Just like in '08....we were addicted to the Olympics. We usually don't allow Ascher to watch TV, but there is just something about the whole Team Spirit and competitiveness that is really exciting and fun to watch. Plus, Ascher really got to see different sports that are not normally on TV! Here he is, playing hockey. Yes, it's something you can watch during the season anyway, but I think he got the hang of it! He built his own hockey stick and used a tire for a puck. I thought it was pretty creative! He even got Immer into playing with him!

Ascher really got into watching skating and skiing. Here he is, running around the kitchen pretending to be skiing. He really loved watching the ski jumping and snowboarding. He also liked to watch the figure skating. He would dance around the kitchen, saying he was skating. Ascher even wanted to get his neighbor Leah involved to "skate" with him! It's fun to expose him to different sports!

Shortly after the Olympics ended, we went to lunch with Uncle Heidi. She had just finished learning to ski, and asked Ascher if she could teach him to ski. He politely said...and I quote..."No thank you. But would you like to go bobsledding with me?"
