In "Training"

For as long as I can remember Gil has never really loved toys.
His love has always been for anything involving gross motor skills.
Balls have always been a love for him.
So this year after mastering riding a two wheeler, monkey bars, and his scooter, he decided he would try out skate boarding.

He found Geena's old skateboard in her garage and then he was obsessed.

He asked Bob and I at dinner one night if we would "train" him in Skateboarding.

We both laughed and then Bob explained that he himself could not skateboard.

So Gil tracked down a 15 year old boy in the neighborhood for some "training".

Alex was kind enough to take an evening of showing Gil the ropes.

The fan club cheered him on from the rocking chairs.

For his birthday Nannie got him his very own skateboard.

Accompanied by knee, elbow and wrist pads.

Skateboarding as proven to be a little harder to learn....

but no worries, he is still "training."
