Lucy got rollerskates for Christmas. She was so excited but so nervous about them. She refused to even put them on when others were around. That all changed when we got home from KY. She wore them around the house for a morning, not really able to skate, but able to get the feel of them on carpet. Then the big test, I took her to our building's basement for a 10 minute test. Harper on a blanket playing and Lucy scooting around with all her gear on. The ten minute test morphed into 35 minutes of pure happiness. She only fell twice (it's ok to laugh at the video, she loves to watch herself fall over and over again) although she took Harper out once and left her bony behind bruised for days. I don't think she would have fallen the second time except that she hit a slope in the basement floor that was pretty unforgiving for a kid on skates. She pretended that the floor was made of ice and she really liked the idea of "plowing over" either Harper or myself. Now she wants to throw on her skates all the time, maybe later, skater.
