Skate On...

Layton wanted a skate board for Christmas. Santa brought him a little one. A pretty generic Hot Wheels skate board. My older brother was super into skating, so I know more about skate boards than I should probably admit. :) Anyway, Santa figured a little one was more Layton's speed.




He's been out in the driveway a lot lately trying to figure out how to ride it and do some tricks.


I think he really wants to Ollie, but he doesn't know how. Me? No, I am not coordinated enough to pull it off.


He had me call my brother (who is in Tokyo) and ask him to teach some skating the next time he is here. You should have heard Layton. It was so funny.

"Tell Uncle Jason that I got a skateboard and need him to help me with it."
"Tell Uncle Jason that I saw pictures of him with his skateboard when he was my size." Side bar: Jason was Layton's size in, I don't know, 1978. For reals, he didn't skate until the '80s. HA!
"Tell Uncle Jason that I love him."
"Tell Uncle Jason that he had cool skater hair."
"Tell Uncle Jason that I got a skate board for Christmas."

It was a hodge podge of sentences strung together and some were repeats. Layton is so excited about the warm weather though. :)
