Matayia Ski, not Wii Ski
This year was interesting skiing with Matayia. I sometimes have a hard time figuring her out. She says that she likes to ski and that she wants to go, but when we get her there she just wants to go home. It is not uncommon for her to be heard saying "do we have to ski down again??" She says that she is not tired and that nothing is hurting, but has just had enough. We finally had a talk with her and told her we would not be mad if she didn't like skiing, it would be OK with us. She tried to convince us that she wants to ski. I then decided that Matayia is more like me then I thought. The girl has no competitive drive, especially when it comes to skiing. She has no need to conquer the mountain, or even ski a run that she already skied. So I guess we will continue to ski with Matayia as long as she "wants" to go. I am grateful that I don't have to worry about Matayia doing some crazy wild ski tricks on the slopes. Maybe its not a bad thing to just want to take it easy on skis!!
