It's been a good week for Luke.
He's picked up a couple lessons with some different skating coaches. Something just is "clicking" -- maybe it's how they are explaining things? I don't know. But he's doing fantastic. There is a competition next month in Wilmington and he wants to do the dance events. Of course, the two that are on the schedule are the two he hasn't tested yet. Until two weeks ago, he had never seen them before! He's picking them up really quickly, and I think he'll be in good shape. He also is entering the Footwork Event. His program is choreographed to Phineas and Ferb's "Backyard Beach." He's got some great choreography, and it's nice to see him having fun with skating again.
Luke came home today and announced he was invited to be a member of the Quiz Bowl team. Apparently, it's for 6th-8th graders, involves going to The Prep for competitions with other schools, and that's about all he knows. But he's puffier than a peacock...he's saying "This means I'm smart, right?" It's interesting trying to find the balance between saying "It confirms what your mother thinks -- that you're an outright genius," and "Well, at the very least, they think you're smart enough to be an asset to the team and represent the school well."
Yay Luke!
