R had her first skating lesson today.\u00c2\u00a0 She was excited to be going.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The instructor came over to the boards, and we sent R out.\u00c2\u00a0 The assistant skated with her between her legs over a little ways in.\u00c2\u00a0 She worked with R for the first while showing her how to get up from the ice.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 R was somewhat sucessful at this, especially when the assistant held her first skate still.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The whole class was pretty funny looking, these 10 kids wriggling like little worms on the ice.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 They were pretty good about wriggling around, scooching on their butts, and crawling on their knees.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The instructor brought out toys which seemed to really motivate R to move around.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The last few minutes she worked again with the head instructor and got to standing by herself, un-assisted.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 For some reason this threw her, and she started crying.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 After the lesson we told her how proud we were of her, and how great she did standing on her own.\u00c2\u00a0 She is now looking forward to next week.\u00c2\u00a0 We should really all go together to a family skate, but that means that both daddy and I need to get skates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
