Exactly two years to the day after the kids first went ice skating, they got to go for a 2nd time. Abigail's preschool class got to go three times this year, and I volunteered to go with them one time. Andrew and Leah tagged along. Leah had a blast. She was brave and didn't really want to use the crate much at all. She really got the hang of it. Abi was brave, but mostly hung on to the crate and didn't venture out. Andrew did NOT do well at all. He was so stuck on using the crate, which was actually holding him back. He kept getting tripped up on it and couldn't go. And he was terrified of falling down. So he and I didn't have quite as much fun, and I really couldn't be much help as Abi's chaperone. We need to get back and try again, because I know that would give them all more confidence & skill on the ice!
A few days later, we enjoyed some warmer weather and the kids were able to get outside mid-February. The snow was starting to melt, although the grass was still pretty muddy. Jacob loved the freedom of being outside. He definitely got dirty but as soon as I set him outside, he was OFF and running, with no limits. Too bad it was just a teaser day and spring really wasn't here just yet!
