First Rollerskate Adventure

Kylie had a birthday party to go to today. It was her first rollerskating party. We've been talking about going for months now that the kids are getting bigger so this was kind of a funny coincidence. Jason wasn't having any part of it so it was just me and the kids. I figured Kylie would be off having fun with her friends in between spills on the floor so it would be me and my little man. Unfortunately I have no pics to share because juggling the 2 of them was more than a full time job, but it was so much fun. They both couldn't stop giggling for the first 20 mins. They would no sooner get up on their feet and they would be right back down on their bums. The wall was their friend for the first 1/2 of the party. Noah seemed to catch on a little quicker than Kylie, probably because he is relatively fearless. By the end he had perfected his little old man shuffle (bent elbows, bent knees shuffling the skates) and didn't need the wall too much. Kylie got over her fear of falling after a bit too and was braving the center of the rink. Both wanted their independence after awhile which was so funny and cute to experience. I'm also happy to report that I managed to last the full 2.5 hrs without a single fall even with both of them hanging on an arm at times...haha. Each have already asked when we can go again and I don't think Daddy will get out of it! Good night!
