We took Brigham skiing with us back in January. It wasn't a great day. I tried to convince Stanton that Brigham wasn't ready for Gentle Ben, but we tried it anyway. Well, what is normally a 10 minute run for us with the girls took 45 minutes. Brigham was like a limp piece of spaghetti the whole way down -- poor Stanton was about ready to lose it by the time we got down the hill. Brig was cold and wet (of course, since he pretty much spent the entire time in the snow) and did not want to go again. I took him to the Jeep and Stanton took the girls up for one more run. Brig ate snacks and listened to stories - he was warm and happy by the time Stanton and the girls finished up.
Needless to say, we haven't taken him back up this season. He just isn't ready yet. We may try to get him up one more time this spring and spend the day on the very flat/gently sloping magic carpet. It's perfect for kiddos who are just learning and we hope Brig can at least get the hang of standing up on his skis this year.
Still cute, though, huh?!

Oh man... such a sad little face on him! As if he's saying, "Mom, Dad, why are you making me do this???"
Talk about a contrast in facial expression! I feel his pain...and fear and dislike for being cold and wet!
