I have a request for a future blog post - would you write about your daughter's skate binder and what should be in it? I have my own folder but it's falling apart so I need to move to a binder format, and I am curious what other skaters keep in their binders and how they use it. I take notes after each of my lessons, and I keep copies of my Moves in the Field patterns in my notebook as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598357895737427353.post-60726993413784151442009-07-19T02:21:18.717-05:002009-07-19T02:21:18.717-05:00MIne is a "what not to bring" since I su...MIne is a "what not to bring" since I suffered through this yesterday at a competition... Don't bring any CDs of music from old skating programs or skating programs that your skater is NOT scheduled to skate at this particular competition! Yesterday in the chaos of checking in and trying to get my daughter onto the ice for practice, I turned in the wrong music for one of her programs! If I hadn't had it in her CD case, I couldn't have turned it in, could I? Lesson learned... the hard way. And yes, there is a funny video of me flying down to the referee with the emergency copy of the CD.Helicopter Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585672541812317820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598357895737427353.post-64010742460144840172009-07-17T20:16:59.941-05:002009-07-17T20:16:59.941-05:00A Sudoku puzzle.
