Anyway this is our skating adventure from Saturday. Ashley was all excited to go but decided it was not her thing once she stood on the ice and fell down. She pouted the rest of the time we were out there. Tyson was bundled up snug as a bug and we never her a peep from him.
Natasha did wonderful. This was her first time (I know, bad mom) on real skates. I warned her ahead of time that she would fall down lots and it would take many, MANY tries. She would have stayed longer to keep trying but I was tired of Ashleys crying/whining so we called it quits. Anyway she used the chair and then tried by herself, then used the chair, and then tried herself, and so on. On the second last picture you can see a bench in the background. She left the chair where it was and went all the way to the bench without help from me or the chair. She did fall a couple times during her route but she happily got back up again. She was so proud to have made it all the way on her own. For the next 6 weeks, on Wednesday, Natasha will be skating with her kindergarten class and the grade six class from her school. I am going to try and go every Wednesday as well to help where I can and watch her progress.
