On Thursday, Gina had her first ice skating lesson. Ever since she saw A Charlie Brown Christmas, she has been hooked on the idea of learning how to skate. So for Christmas, her grandpa gave her ice skating lessons and she has been counting down the days ever since.
When we first arrived, it was really crowded with kids and moms and skates. I lost track of Andrew a couple of times. I had to buy Gina new mittens as well, so we squeezed into the tiny shop with two kids and a stroller. Once on the ice, Gina was a little unsteady, but overall, she did really well. There were a lot of moms standing by the side of the rink so it was difficult to watch her all the time and even more difficult to get a good picture, but several times when I looked over, I would see several kids falling down and Gina still standing. She didn't do much actual skating for the first lesson, mostly holding onto the side, but she loved it. Afterward, she asked if she could go skating every day.
Andrew on the other hand was very bummed that he couldn't go skating too. He was a little side tracked by the video games that were in the waiting area but he kept asking if he could go out on the ice. The Snowball class for 3-4 year olds starts in a few weeks so I guess I will sign him up for that. In the mean time I am going to have to figure out how to keep him distracted during Gina's lesson.
