We had a great first today - ice skating. Last week, your friend Abby invited us to go ice skating... but since you were having a bipolar week (not literally - it's just a 4 thing...) and so we decided it probably wasn't good to unleash that on the world, let alone friends.
But this past week, you were FANTASTIC - and really good for Daddy when I was called out of town on a last-minute trip. So, Daddy suggested we all go ice skating today. Just a last minute idea... it was either that or go to the grocery store.
We had a WONDERFUL time.
We visited this great little outdoor rink that's been around forever. It was a fantastic 40 degrees -- so not too cold that you're miserable, but cold enough to make you feel like you should be ice skating. Christmas music was playing over the loud speakers -- and at one point, the opening to "A Charlie Brown Christmas" gently started. It was perfect.
Thanks to a LOT of help from Daddy, you made it around the rink four times over the course of a couple hours. We'd go around once, then take a break. After our second round trip, the Zamboni came out... Then you announced you wanted to do a figure eight. Well, at least you're an overachiever!
After about 1-1/2 hours, we were all pooped and packed up to head home. On the way out, you said, "I really want to come back sometime."
We will, sweetheart. We definitely will.
