This Olympic go ’round is really the first one that Quincy can watch and enjoy. It is funny to find out which sports he likes and those he does not. In the “I like” category we have: ski jumping, biathlon (due to the shooting), moguls, hockey, snow boarding events, and curling, yes, curling. In the “Don’t care” category we have: luge, skating (sorry mom), downhill skiing, cross-country skiing (no shooting) and ice dancing.
I wasn’t sure how much he was really absorbing until today. I haven’t really explained the whole gold, silver and bronze medal thing to him explicitly, but he must have picked it up from us and the announcers. Today, he decided to put “medals” on his Olympic Team of bears. He even told us who won the medals in what event. So, below, I have a picture of the team with and without the coach.
