Timmies, Tantrums & TSN Prospects: Chronicles of a Serendipitous Puck Mummy
Let’s face it – we all have favourites when it comes to those in our life we chose to do things for us – favourite hairdresser, favourite masseuse, favourite teacher, favourite author, favourite chef. You get my drift.
This weekend, I became a favourite lace tier. Oh yes I did!
This is a status I was quite certain I would never attain. You may recall my earlier posts on tying laces and the “issues” associated with those efforts. Thankfully, the nine-year old can now tie his own skates so I am off the hook on that front. However, I still tie and untie a large number of seven-year old skates.
On Saturday, I was in a rush to get out of the dressing room (having realized I left the skates I was to get sharpened during that morning practice at home…). After hearing the coach offer to tie another player’s skates, I suggested to Gabi that he could tie her skates. She whispered to me: “No mommy, you do it. He ties them too tight”. I was feeling a little giddy after that confession but even better after what followed next: ”You know, Daddy ties them too tight too. So does Noah. You tie them just perfect”
Ahhhh, an early Christmas gift. I am her preferred skate tier – her favourite if you will!
