Staying at the Ritz Carlton in Truckee, CA from a child's point of view

We had an opportunity to stay at the Ritz Carlton in Truckee, CA this winter.  It was a gift from a family member for my son's birthday.

These are the things he said on our trip:

"I liked marshmology, they even gave me a card, Marshmology Doctor shirt, a Marshmology S'more kit, and they decorated my room!" 

"I took a private skii lesson, and once I took a lesson, I was super good at it, I went down super steep slopes."

"We ate in the Living Room at the hotel.  It is HUGE!  I had a cheese buffalo burger that was really big and yummy!"

"I love the huge fireplace in the living room of the hotel!"

"I went sledding after marshmology today with other kids!"

"I went ice skating last night. We took the tram to the village!"

"There was a band in the Living Room last night, I had pasta for dinner with red sauce."

"I love the Ritz Carlton in Truckee!"

"They have really good rooms and really nice skii slopes!"

A Goal

" Goal is created three times.  First, as a mental picture.  Second, when written down to add clarity and dimension.  And third, when you take action towards its achievement."

Skiing- my son's metacognition process

My son and I went skiing today and he told me that he'd been pretending to skii in his head all year since the last time we skied in the spring of 2016.  He had been dreaming doing the pizza, the duck walk, and french fries all year! 

He did great!  He remembered all of the things he learned last year!

metacognition quotes- football

My son and I were watching the Superbowl and and I thought about the importance of metacognition for the football players. 

I found the quote,

"Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but mostly from the neck up."
Knute Rockne, Football Coach
