This weekend plans changed a little. While we were supposed to go ice skating...Valentino took Isabel
skiing instead! ! This was significant for a few different reasons. First and foremost...
as I suspected... Isabel was a natural. While it took me at least half- a -day (on the bunny hill) to learn 10 years ago, Isabel instantly got the hang of the skis and was turning left and right (and even did a jump) within the first half-hour. Valentino decided that she was good enough... right away... to forgo the bunny hill...
um...really?
The second reason, that Isabel and Valentino skiing is significant, is more personal. When Valentino and I first started dating he took me to ski in the Alps. His niece Giada (who was 6 at the time) came along and Valentino taught her to ski. I remember that moment fondly as he was so patient and gentle with her. I specifically remember wondering if we ever had kids would he teach them to ski too? It was a pivotal point that made me realize what a good father he would be! And Valentino if your reading...you indeed are a great father!
