Today I accompanied Nathan to his very first roller skating experience.  It was a special party organized by his violin instructor for all of the students as a reward for them having succeeded in a listening challenge during the Fall.  I thought that Nathan might be a little apprehensive about trying this new activity, but I was wrong.  I am convinced I was more scared than he was.  I don't think I've roller skated since about the eighth grade!  And I'm 34 years old (almost 35) so that was a LONG time ago, people!

He got the hang of it as well as one could expect for a first timer and after about an hour or so of warm-up, so did I.  It's something we'll definitely have to do again and I'm even considering signing him up for skate lessons that start next month because he's got such an interest in doing it and it was so fun!  My glutes are sore from skating around the rink….I think I used muscles I didn't even know I had.  ♥
