This is how we do it

A few weeks ago, I took both the girls (separately!) ice skating for the first time! With Ada, i learned pretty quickly that just three is not a good age for ice skating (she was slipping all over the place)...so I was quite thankful when they brought out the buckets for inexperienced skaters. And so was Ada - especially when she discovered how fun it was to ride sitting balanced on top of the bucket while I pushed her around the rink! Josie had a better experience and progressed from bucket to side of the rink to skating hand and hand with me.
