Back in September, Gavin was invited to a birthday party held at the roller skating rink. I was hesitant to go because I envisioned lots of frustration and possibly broken bones; plus, I haven't skated in years. But Gavin assured me he wanted to give it a try. I told him it was similar to learning how to ride a bike with no training wheels in that there would be lots of falls before getting the hang of it.
After two hours of skating, Gavin was getting better. Luckily, the rink staff allowed me to walk along side of him as he learned. Since the party, Gavin has been asking to skate again. We finally got the opportunity over fall break. Here is a clip of Gavin and Grandma Nancy skating. Our next skating adventure is this Thursday with his cub scout pack.
