Ice Skating

Ice Skating

I really wish all of you could have been there to see CJ on the ice for the first time. I am such a bad mommy, but it was SO FUNNY! I think we just need to go ice skating everyday for me to lose the rest of this baby weight cause it was an Ab workout like nothing else I have ever done! To try to describe how much he fell would be impossible...it was like Bambi on ice! He was SUCH a great sport about it and wanted to keep trying over, and over, and over again! We told him how proud we were of his ability to never give up. THANK GOD we brought helmets! Maddie was a natural and took off right away. The only tears we had from her was when it was time to leave! Cassie wanted to be carried the entire time by a tired Daddy who did his best to accomidate the 3 kids all by himself.  I sat on the sidelines with my beautiful baby laughing and taking a million pictures and video! Next time Corey and I can trade "jobs".

Daddy addition:  I insisted (perhaps prematurely) that any boy of mine use hockey skates.  They are MUCH more difficult and we are lucky he had such a can-do attitude.  When we got in the car he said "I think I fell 100 times!".  I asked "How many times did you get up?", "101!" was his proud reply.  What a kid!

I give all the kids two thumbs up for bravery! I have never been on ice skates! I love CJ's response and positivity on how many times he fell down and how many times he got up...at least he tried and tried 100 times (101 getting up)...lol!!!
