ice skating starts again

The new ice skating session started yesterday. It was great to see Cooper going out confidently on the ice. I didn't notice him falling at all. It is such a big difference from when he started last session (which was his first time learning to skate). He's taking the same level he did in the fall, but whereas in the fall most of the kids were around his age or just a little older, this session most of the kids are bigger than him. He was talking to everyone as usual, of course. I noticed him talking to the two teenagers in the class several times.
Kestrel is taking ice skating again as well, but she moved up to Beta, which meets at a different time (unfortunately).

In the picture below, Cooper is on the end in blue.

And here he is smirking as he was coming off the ice...


And just for fun, here's another picture I took of Kestrel this afternoon with Sassy (on the shoulder) and Sandy.

So, I want to know, what did Harrison think of Sassy and Sandy???

We haven't actually introduced them yet. The first time he bounced in to Kestrel's room he seemed interested, but the rats looks terrified so we hurried him out. He's wandered in a couple of times since (while they are in their cage) but is more interested in finding Kestrel's slipper. I'll try to get a picture later, after we make offical (careful) introductions. We may wait a while until he gets to meet them out of cage. :)
