Hockey Obsessions Continued

So we were thinking that maybe this hockey thing would get old for Keegan. Apparently not, it is still his favorite pastime. We have been trying to take him out ice skating and play hockey indoors and out when we can. Apparently though we have failed him in the most important of hockey essentials...that of equipment.

A couple of weeks ago Keegan walked out of the Mudroom with his version of a hockey helmet.

Yes folks he has a dog muzzle on his head. I did not even know you could do that with a muzzle go figure he's so creative.

We also failed to provide him with hockey gloves. So daddy's gloves worked very well as a substitute.


Then there was another attempt to find the perfect hockey helmet to portray his outgoing and crazy personality. Take this Backstrom your helmet has nothing on our boy's.


Try as I might to fight my future as a hockey mom, with each passing month my fate grows more and more certain. Keegan loves shooting baskets, he loves kicking the soccer ball, he talks about how he loves his swimming lessons, but nothing...absolutely nothing is as cool as hockey. So, for his birthday, this Saturday we are taking him to another Gopher Women's Hockey game. Hey, if you can't win you mine as well have fun being sucked into the time void known as hockey. Keegan has been asking to ice skate all the time; so maybe skating lessons will be in order in another year we will see. Maybe we have the next Gretzky on our hands here...or maybe (I'll keep telling myself this) he will outgrow it :-)
