Drew had been asking to go ice skating the last couple of weeks (he's never been) so we decided to take him to the rink at the Galleria Mall! He was super excited to strap the skates on his shoes all by himself, of course (they have 2 blades so he won't fall over) and get his assistant "mister seal" (the orange thing he is holding also so he won't fall over). He took one step on the ice and started to freak out because his footing was so unsure...cried for about 1.4 seconds and then the smiles came and never left! Like a 90 year old man with his walker, Drew scooted around and around the rink! He even sat on the seal so I could push him around (he liked that a lot but wanted to be like the other kids and "skate" himself after a couple rounds). I got tired LONG before Drew did. In fact, the only way we could get him out of the rink was to promise we would come back and do it again and let him ride on the Merry-Go-Round inside the mall. It was a fun day for sure :)
