We went ice skating yesterday with our small group, it was the first time any of the boys had gone and the first time Jeremiah had been since we were kids. Each of the boys did pretty well. Spencer wouldn't slow down to actually learn to skate, but would race for a short distance until he wiped out, pick himself up and race off again. When we first started, the littles would find an adult they knew to hang on until that adult got tired and then they'd get passed on to another adult(thanks small group!). That got old pretty quickly, so we took each of them to the middle or side where it wasn't so busy and made them go on their own, focusing on balance and going nice and slow. Samuel especially ended up loving it. He told me this morning, "When we were skating yesterday, I was as happy as a tiger who found food." :-)
Pics were all taken with my camera phone, most were blurry, so these 2 are the only decent ones, they happen to both be of Samuel.

How cool! We need to be more assertive with the little girls the next time we go. We found the same thing when we took Bekah by herself - that she did much better when we ditched her & made her do it on her own!
Go Samuel! :)
