At home today

No skating today.  At home taking care of Mary who is a little sick. She had some Gatorade and said she was hungry, just before she fell asleep.  I hope she is okay in time for her competition - that's only in a week.
Big thanks to Grandma for commenting on my posts.  More video and pictures to come soon. :)

New Routine

I just did my exhibition today - a trial run of my skating routine for my next competition.  I was pretty nervous at first, but then when I went on the ice, because there were so many people, there was a lot of clapping and whistling.  That made me feel kinda better.  But then the music didn't work and I waited for a long time to start.  Once it finally started working, they had to re-announce my name and everything.
It went okay, but afterward my whole body was shaking because it was so exhausting.
Mary, my sister had her exhibition after me.  All I heard during her skate was "Awwww!" She's so cute.
Check out my videos.  I recently got to work with famous skate choreographer Phillip Mills on a new routine for this upcoming competition.  Enjoy!
