Skating Party

I first have to say that I am exhausted. So many concerts on top of an already busy schedule is just plain wearing me out. So when it was time to go to Elizabeth's skating party, I was not excited to say the least. But I have to say, I am glad we went. Elizabeth isn't the bravest little girl in the world and she usually spends the entire time skating on the carpet around the perimeter of the rink where it is "safer", but tonight, she headed straight for the beginner rink (a smaller version of the real thing - but much safer away from the big kids!). She wasn't so much skating, as shuffling her feet along, but she was doing it all by herself. And when she fell, she didn't cry or even reach for Mommy, but just picked herself up and tried again. By the end of the night, she had gone around the big rink! What a big girl!!!!!
