Claire on Ice



This morning Claire and I tried out her new ice skates. I took a video, but she was doing so good I kept recording and the video will take to long to upload. I was surprised to see her doing so well. At first, I held on to her and she was hardly keeping her balance at all, then she asked me to let go and she took off (well, as much of a "take off" a 4 year old on ice skates can do) She had a great time. I was thinking she'd be crying and on her bum most of the time. She asked if I would take her again tomorrow, I'm thinking I need to bring a chair and a book.

And I should mention how much I love New Hampshire. Any icy parking lot will do when the outdoor rinks are still too grassy.

turned out to be a great gift just like you thought. Where did you end up getting the skates anyway? I love the pink!
