He is especially attached to me.  I know the doctor or Sanj&#8230; who ever cut the cord&#8230; thought they did&#8230; but they didn&#8217;t do a good job.  He is attached.<\/p>\n<p>Today I took the boys to the ski hill.  Josh really wanted to ski (so he thought).  I told him that he would have to have a teacher&#8230; because I can not ski.  After a lot of humming and hawing&#8230; he decided that he could smile to this teacher and learn from him.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as Josh saw the guy&#8230; I could see doubt and fear.  So I puttered with them for a minute&#8230; not realizing that this &#8220;teacher&#8221; was going to take my baby on that dreaded and much feared ski lift&#8230; (one of the reason I have no desire to ski).<\/p>\n<p>Oh my gosh!  My heart was racing&#8230; yet as Josh slowly walked from me&#8230; very slowly, I do believe, we took the first step to cutting that cord.<\/p>\n<p>I was so proud of him!!!  I am sure he must have been scared and unsure yet he preserved!<\/p>\n<p>Josh went up and down that hill 4 times!!!<\/p>\n<p>He had a great time! He is on his way to becoming a skier!<\/p>\n<p>And I am that much closer to becoming an undisturbed chalet bunny!<\/p>\n<p>Zach is determined to become a snowboarder.  He took a lesson last year and again this year insisted that he try again.<br \/>It is quite a effort.  Yet he did it&#8230; he has such a spirit!  <\/p>\n<p>Needless to say my young ones were fast asleep with no effort!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is no secret that Josh and I share a special bond.
