Pictures to come later, but the first day of ice skating for Jeremy was a rousing success! He was beyond excited to go, and we got there early enough since we weren't sure where we were going once we were inside the arena. We came prepared with snow pants, a sweatshirt, mittens and his helmet. And skates that a girlfriend let me borrow.
Jeremy got out on the ice and was a little apprehensive, but the instructor came over and took his hands to help him balance himself. They had a bunch of walkers on the ice for the kids to steady themselves, and they had the kids skate from one side of the rink to the other. They also taught the kids how to stand up from sitting on the ice. Jeremy did take quite a few tumbles, and his walker fell on its side a few times, but he was a trooper. There was a boy who was about 7 that helped Jeremy right his walker a couple times.
Once the first lesson was over, he got off the ice and proudly proclaimed: "Mom, I had SO much fun out there! When can I start using my stick?"
In due time, buddy. Let's get you to figure out how to skate first.
