Alex trains for the U.S. Winter Olympics luge team

 

Big announcement! Drumroll, please! After witnessing Alex’s stunning performance on the sledding hill on Sunday in -20 degree Fahrenheit (windchill factor) weather, we have decided to allow Alex to fulfill his aspiration to join the U.S. Winter Olympics luge team! As you can see from the attached video, he’s a natural. Not even a major wipeout could keep him down! No, he was ready to “do it again” right away!

Seriously, Alex did enjoy sledding a lot more this year than last year. For the most part he went down with one of his siblings or alone, backwards (facing uphill). As long as he was sent down straight, he did fine. (At one point you will see me advising him to go down straight to avoid flipping; of course, in retrospect, that was a dumb thing to say!)

Coming up soon, we’ll be posting Alex’s newest adaptive seating solution—a Tripp Trapp chair.

Now for the highlights reel:



And finally, the hot chocolate:

    Alex did great, but I think you did better sliding down that hill, haha!

    Just what every kid wants to hear their parents say as they're sliding backwards down the hill: "Uh-oh. That's not good." Ha!
