We headed to the ski resort. The mountain air felt crisp and cool. Each breath was fresh and made me feel alive. The view was amazing. The snow covered everything like a soft blanket. It sparkled in the bright sun, looking like tiny diamonds all around us. Cyrus pulled at my sleeve, eager to go. His face was full of joy. I couldn't wait to enjoy this adventure with him.

At the resort, a professional instructor greeted us with a big smile. "You must be Cyrus! Are you ready for your training session?" he asked.]]

Cyrus nodded eagerly, bouncing on his toes. "Yes! I can't wait to learn!"]

"Great! Follow me, and we'll get started," the instructor said, gesturing for Cyrus to join him.[]

I watched as they walked away, my heart swelling with pride. "Have fun, buddy!" I called after him.

Cyrus turned around, his eyes sparkling. "I will, Mom! I'm going to learn so much!"

The instructor chuckled. "That's the spirit! Let's see what you can do!"]

To my surprise, he smiled and nodded. "Why not?"[]
