I think this photo speaks volumes about The Sprout's 1st skating experience.
I love the sign over his shoulder it says...voted Canada's #1 outdoor skating spot (readers digest 2009) I don't think my little Sprout would agree with the vote on this day.
The good news is we went for the 2nd time today and it was a much bigger success. He loved skating and did fantastic on his little bob-skates.
Why?
1. Some good skating advice from my very wise gal pals/expert Moms Des and Krista. (the chair rides and skating with Daddy holding him, thanks guys!)
and
2. Mommy wore her skates and left her camera at home. This was very hard to do but we had a great time even though I have the memories in my brain instead of my memory card.
I revisited a lesson I remember one of the nurses telling us right after we had The Sprout, we were worried because he came home from the hospital sleeping thought he night (9pm-6am, foolish me, I actually remember trying to stay awake in case he woke up). It was simple.....

Too cute a picture. There's still time to turn him into an Olympic champ.
I'm mostly laughing at your "sleeping" issue. When my boy was two weeks old, I took him to the pediatrician because I thought he had a sleeping disorder. He hadn't woken up once in the night since birth. "But the book says" started many discussions with the Doc. He spun me around, told me to look out in his waiting room at all the folks who had NOT slept in two weeks and sent me home to count my blessings.
Yes, I would love to know where you found the bob-skates too- I've been looking for a pair.
