NyCee and I went roller skating tonight as part of a fundraiser with my church. When we arrived, she was so excited about skating. (The skates I bought for her birthday were too small. I have to find another pair that will convert from skates to roller blades.) When she first got on the skates, she had to learn to balance herself. Part of it was just the theatrics of NyCee. So she fell a couple of times, very lightly, onto the ground.
Then, she found the courage to actually go onto the skating floor. She clung to the wall for dear life.
My friend's daughter attempted to help her skate. But NyCee would not stand up straight to get her balance.
Then we discovered the "roller aide" the white and red device she is holding. Once she got the hang of that, she was off. She would go on to the floor and skate in the middle of the rink, by herself, holding on to her roller aide.
It was a fun, family event. I am learning to embrace more of these types of times. These are the types of events that build memories the kids will cherish.
