Skating

We went to the Classic Fun Center last night and Conner wanted to try skating. Oh boy I wish I would have had a camera to remember how ridiculously clumsy he was at first. I had the great idea of having him hold onto the stroller with Lucy in it but the 1st time he fell he took Lucy down with him. Definitely not a good idea. We rented one of the stabilizers for him to hold on to and by the end of the night he was able to skate on his own a little bit. Sam only put the skates on for a minute and didn't like it. Mikey wouldn't even try. He would stand on the scooter while either Neil or I pushed him around the rink. I love seeing my kids learn new things. Too bad I think all the boys get their mom's athletic genes which is none. I have a hard time skating myself as an adult and Conner was holding on to me for dear life slipping and sliding all over the place while I tried to keep us up. Neil and I decided we have got to work with our kids more. Conner still cannot ride a bike without training wheels and rides very slow. Sam won't try to ride a big bike but prefers his hot wheel and Mikey can't figure out how to pedal his trike. None of the boys are very good on the scooter either. I don't think they really like them. We have a three-wheeled one that Mikey finally figured out last night but was really slow on it. I don't get it, they love to go outside and ride bikes but they are just not very good at it yet. Once again they take after their mom. I still have a hard time riding a bike. I am not very confident and get really scared when I have to make a sharp turn. I got to get some more bike helmets because we'll be needing them I'm sure.
