We've been skating a few times this winter; the real thing is better than pretending on our living room rink. At first, I practically had to carry him, followed by going home after the first fall. But this Saturday we watched the Bruins and Flyers play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and he decided that he wanted to give it another shot. So after one lap, I let go of his hand, and he took off.
Just to let you know why the video is pretty poor: I'm on the ice, I'm a wobbly skater, and this is the first time I ever used video on my new phone. Nevertheless, you'll get the idea. We're very proud of him!
