A big day for Siena today! After watching some of the men’s figure skating from Tuesday night (seriously taped delayed to Saturday), she wanted to go out skating for herself. So here she is!
Getting ready:
Out on the ice:
And coming back in:
And here’s a video of her out there for the first time!
Siena was a little hard on herself afterwards, implying that she didn’t have a great time because she fell down. We explained that you have to fall down many times to learn how to do it right, and she did better than daddy would’ve done. Is this kind of perfectionism a harbinger of her attitude in the future? That would be a double-edge sword, certainly. Finally, for the record, I avoided any obvious Batman Begins quotes.
