12th October

OMG this is rather a little scary. 5 years old and he looks like a hockey star!! Tomorrow he's starting a junior league, just for fun 1 day a week. We're still not sure it's something we should encourage but there you go. So this morning he wanted to do a trial run of getting all his gear on. And he did this all by himself! Quite the picture. Shame we don't have an Ave's shirt for him, as that's who we both back. But I know a few of our friends will get a kick out of this just the same.
Holy moly :) thats a lot of gear! He kinda suits the look though.

@palusami That's what's so scary to me!! When you're in Canada, do as the Canadians do!!

Wow, that sure is alot of gear! I hope he enjoys it. :)

agree...neither of my boys were rugby players, thank goodness as when we lived in Samoa they would have only ever been half the weight of their age group.

That's a lot of gear! He looks handsome in it though and wish him well for his season of hockey!

@exposure4u Thanks Wendy. He's really looking forward to it. We started watching hockey in Aspen so our team has always been the Avalanches, even though we're in Canada now.

Thats awesome! Amazing how a uniform does that to them. This reminds me of a prof. sports portrait.

Fantastic photo!!... Cant wait until you take another one of him playing!!
( I'm picturing him in his early 20's playing for Canada and comparing the 2 photos... ha ha )

Great shot to celebrate the occasion!

so cute, he looks like a hockey player, but he should have an Oilers jersey on...formerly from Edmonton so I had to say that...

Great shot! My, he looks so grown up in all that gear! Hope he has fun!

he does look like a hockey star - but no, he shouldn't have an Oilers jersey on, he should have a Canucks jersey on:) Great portrait - he looks so relaxed in front of the camera.

@kayley Thanks Kayley, he's loving it. @shortperson2002 I was surprised at how this came out, I didn't get him to pose for it! @kris76 OMG I hope he's not. We were going to try and steer him towards skiing or even bike riding over hockey! @alia_801 Thanks, how could I not take a photo! @msartsy @pwallis We were given the jersey with some other gear... not our choice either as we're Ave's fans but we rolled with it! @tinatmmc @jquinn Thanks, it's all fun at this stage!
