This weekend, we went to an ice skating birthday party and had the chance to take both boys out on the ice! Riley has been skating a few times - with Stacey and Brad, and most recently with Chris, but Asher has never laced up. Riley is getting pretty confident and I am so proud of him for getting out on the ice and not being scared. He doesn't have great technique yet but he get excited about going to skate and is happy that we will be signing him up for lessons in March.
Asher wasn't quite sure about the ice at first, but whatever Riley does, Asher follows, so out he went without much hesitation. There was a lot of wobbly steps and hand holding on the way to the ice but as soon as we put him on the rink, he put his trust in us and really impressed me with his go-with-the-flow attitude. Chris and I took turns going around the rink with him cause there was a lot of bending and holding on our part (and aching backs today) but even though his feet were sliding this way and that and his coat kept riding up to show his tummy to all, Asher had a great time and kept asking to go around again and again.
I think this is a fun activity that we can definitely continue as a family and I look forward to the days that we can go around the rink without having to drag the boys along - maybe they can do the dragging in the future!
