Got to go ice skating with my girl today. WOW it makes a huge difference wearing decent skates with sharpened blades! I could actually SKATE...well...for the 15-20 min or less till the easily-tired outer-lower leg muscles near my ankles had it...and till the leather of the skates started to cut into my legs above my ankles.
Then I watched Elf and her friend and made little videos and made Elf do one more quick pass to end on a good note rather than letting her quit directly after 2 falls in a row. "We always end on a good note," I told her, and she skated back across the rink and back to me for a hug.
I love that kid.
