Recently, Isaac discovered Paul's Rollerblades and protective pads/guards. He has been wearing them around the house and learning how to roller skate. Paul and I decided that it might be a good idea to get him some of his own, in say, his size. I found a set that came with all the protective equipment as well as skates that grow with your kid! This was Isaac's "big" gift and we let him open it on his actual birthday, the day before his party. The first picture captured his enthusiasm when he first realized what the gift was.
Just as we predicted, his first request was to go try them at Reid Park. Our neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks, but we live about a mile from a park that takes up a whole city block and has a path all the way around it which people bike, run, walk and skate. We headed over, Paul on his skates as a model and team, me as back-up if Isaac started to go down. By the end of it he was cruising along, keeping his balance and getting of the idea of pushing his skates in and out in unison to try to move along. Not bad for the first day!
One picture from the front. I still don't know how Paul could skate along side Isaac supporting him without falling over or tripping, but that's why he was wearing the skates and I was the back-up plan! I think it might be time for Momma to get some skates, then we can all go together!

Ooh, how fun once you get a set of skates for yourself and go out all together. You guys are so coordinated! I could never do that.
