Atticus is taking part in the A.skate Foundation program. His parents invited us to watch him skate today — and skate he does! I had the chance to help a little. He’s doing the balancing and learning to steer. The big person, that’s his coach Rick above, is really just providing the propulsion. That’ll come.
He’s great at it, and I think this is just his second day skating. Atticus has just nearly perfect balance. And he has the biggest smiles, skating on the pavement, being pushed up ramps or even up a small half-pipe.
That picture is from my cell phone, because today was a silly day to forget my real cameras. Not to worry. I ended up stealing his mom’s camera and taking pictures for her. She had a great day, because it was a big day because Atticus had a big time.
He’ll be in a documentary. This isn’t it, but I shot a few seconds of video from my cell phone.
We also visited Toys R Us and had dinner at Whole Foods, but his little chesire grin while skating was the best part of a great day.
