Brynlee has been earning points for doing her chores, and when she has enough she gets to go on a date with either me or her dad! It usually works out to every other weekend.
About 2 weekends ago we were able to go ice skating together. She has been wanting to try ice skating for some time now. She loves watching ice skating on t.v. and has a movie called Ice Princess that she really likes to watch.
It has been a LONG time since I've been ice skating. I wasn't sure how this would end up. It went better than expected! I didn't fall! ;) Brynlee did great! We went out on our first lap and I pretty much held her up the whole way around.
After the first lap Brynlee wanted to try using five gallon buckets to help her balance. The rink has buckets that people who are learning can stack to the right height and place upside down to help them. She went around a few times holding the buckets, then told me she wanted to try without them.
She held my hand, but could balance much better this time around. After one lap holding my hand she was off on her own! She did great and LOVED it! I was able to show off some of my skills to her which included a really bad half circle turn and some backward skating...all without falling down!
Now we have her signed up for lessons! I wasn't sure she'd like it. Even with a few good falls, she is so excited to start at the end of the month!
I love spending time with my girl!
