Friday: ice skating

We went ice skating today.  I was expecting Joshua to give up right away and Isaac to figure it quickly, but it was some what opposite.

Joshua did have a hard time at first.  Nathan and I switched off skating him around the rink, but after some tests we were about five minutes from being done.  Then we were standing by Nathan and Evelyn and he balanced by himself.  Yay!  So I had him take two steps towards me.  Yay!  It just got better and better, and by the end he was faster than Evelyn, but still needed to hold a hand.  (And was in a constant state of falling.)



Isaac did well, for sure, but also struggled.  He could balance but just barely figured out how to skate.  He tried hard for an hour and then was finished.  What surprised me though was that he said it was the best part of his day and he might be interested in taking lessons.

That's really impressive that they were able to skate without holding on to those stabilizer bars!
