It's hard to find time to edit all the random videos I have on my phone into anything watchable, so please forgive me for posting a video of Mazzy's first time skiing (back in February) all the way at the end of March.
Although, since it's still the dead of winter outside, it doesn't seem nearly as unseasonal as I thought it would.
I posted about our trip already (read "Deep Thoughts On Skiing with a Four-year-old") along with a :15 second video clip on Instagram, but people said they wanted to see more.
I did too.
I really need to get in the habit of posting more videos of my girls. Otherwise, they will be buried in my iPhoto library forever.
The video below is one of the best examples of Mazzy's real personality I have on film. She usually clams up when the camera is on and she's never quite herself on The Mommy Show, but I think she was so excited about skiing, she forgot she was on camera.
Behold my adorable, fearless and very chatty little girl…
FYI- after the trip was over, Mazzy told us her favorite part about skiing was the gondola.

Too cute!! “I think I’m the smallest one here” she probably was but she was awesome! My heart skipped a beat when she fell in front of somebody though!
Mazzy is awesome! I want to give her a big cuddle but have an adult conversation with her at the same time. She has this combined mature cuteness!
So cute! “I’m okay!”
Oh my goodness watching her ski is giving me heart palpitations! How is she not scared?!
“You know what? This isn’t too bad.” Adorable.
We were on a pretty small slope. And she definitely got frustrated at times. I just don’t have those on camera because I was helping her in those moments.
There was one time toward the end of the trip, I took her on a bigger slope and I almost had a heart attack. She couldn’t stop and was going so fast, I was having a hard time catching up with her. My mind really raced to the worst possible places and I thought I was going to have to tackle her at 90 miles an hour before she went over the side. Just as I caught up, Mazzy fell on purpose and said, “I didn’t like that.” I told her, “I didn’t like that either.” And then she skied holding my hand or my poles for the rest of the day.
Oh my God, she is too cute! Can’t stand it! She should be in the Gap ads or something.
She is an absolutely beautiful little girl!
She is absolutelly adorable! I am glad you posted this video as the video on instagram really made me wanting to see more of Mazzy’s personality as photos do not reveal as much as videos. Great stuff :))
She’s something… reminds me of my daughter when she was that age! I love the part of the conversation about the “big people hill.”
That was adorable. I can see how you would want to trade skiing by yourself to skiing with her. Magical. I seriously cannot get over her eyes… I think I caught a glimpse of her soul…
She is so precious. And so brave. And good job mom on videoing her while skiing yourself.
Girl, you should try to get her on GAP or mini Boden Ad campaigns, she is such a beautiful little girl! She deserves a 40 feet ad on Times Square, and her awesome, fearless personality reflects on her eyes. She sure does a great job skiing, I would be terrified! GO MAZZY
Ilana, how old is Mazzy, again? My daughter just turned 4 this month and my husband is dying to take her skiing. I keep resisting (i’m terrified!!), but Mazzy looks so comfortable there. Maybe i’m overreacting? Curious how close in age they are…
Absolutely adorable 🙂 She is gorgeous! Something about the way she said the word “slope” had me giggling. Too cute. And so brave! 🙂
I love when she was like, “Okay, okay”…my 4-year old does this to me all.the.time. In every possible situation.
It抯 onerous to seek out educated individuals on this subject, but you sound like you recognize what you抮e speaking about! Thanks
