We have a lot of outdoor rinks here, obviously, but I haven't yet got Owen on skates yet. He's not very coordinated. But he's older than most local kids who start.
K claims that she can teach any kid who can walk to also skate. Dunno if I believe.
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

My father used to take us all ice skating every Saturday morning through the winter to give my mom a break. I have really fond memories of this time with him, but I also remember how jealous I was because my friends there were allowed to use double runner skates, and my father didn't believe in things like that (no training wheels on bicycles, either!), so there was a few weeks of terror as he'd set me up on those two blades and give me a push. After that, I got to brag I could "really" skate and those on double-runners were "babies."
Huh, look at that. . . I wasn't a nice child.
eta: Happy Birthday, shrift!

I feel pretty much like myself at this point, with no major complaints. The baby bump is just starting to matter in terms of sleeping positions, but not really interfering with my getting my Zzz.
I'm enjoying it while I can!

Our wings are not tired.
I was much better on ice skates than I ever was on roller skates. A friend's dad always made a rink in the backyard, but we skated down the streets too. It has been decades since I skated. If memory serves we were skating right after walking.
Yep, gravity is a harsh mistress throughout life.

I wish I could skate. I did as a kid but I haven't since. K is a marvel on skates.
Though all I have time for now is yoga. Or all I am trying to make time for is yoga.
