This fall we put Carter into Boots to Blades again. This was his second time and I was hoping that we'd be able to try the blades this time but no such luck. As soon as I'd tell him that we were going skating he'd get excited and say. "We're going skating...but I will not wear skates Daddy." I'm thinking we might have had a better go at it if we had just skipped the boots part and threw some skates on him. This time around he was the only one that didn't wear skates and most of the other kids were quite good on theirs. He still has lot's of fun when he goes though. Some of the events include picking things up and putting them in boxes. He likes it so much that I have to stop him about half way through so the other kids get a chance.
As per usual a highlight of the class is the chair rides. They are little plastic lawn chairs and the instructor gives them quite a big push. I'm sure once in a while the chair must hit a rut and just send the kid flying.
I think we'll try going during family skate a few times this winter and see if we can't convince him to put on skates. Though if he decides he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Crosby we've still got soccer to fall back on.
