Eli went roller skating for the first time today. (And mommy went for the first time in 15 years!) Eli's buddy, Logan, had his fourth birthday party this morning. All of his friends and their families had a great time at a local roller rink. Eli could not wait to get his skates on. He started to skate on the carpet while I was lacing up only to discover that skates are tricky! He felt half a dozen times (on the carpet) before I had my first skate on. Nevertheless, he still wanted to go on the real rink. Slowly and very carefully, I tried to guide him around the slick surface, but he fell again and again. After several hard blows to the derriere, Eli asked to go back to the indoor playground (which was awesome, by the way).
Time for pizza - Eli got a little clingy and wanted me to sit with him. Then he ran back to the playground with his friends. When the cake came out, he planted himself right next to Logan (which was also right next to the cake...big shocker). The rest of the time was spent alternating between the rink and the playground. I am so glad he kept asking to try to skate again...no matter how many times he fell, he kept trying again.
