Skating day

Our CHEC skate was Wednesday. We met some friends for lunch before hand at the park across the street from the skating rink too. It was really nice.

I usually skate, but today I wanted to let Chandler skate and be able to help him as much as he needed. Turns out he didn't want/need my help at all! He's a natural born skater!

He had real skates on and didn't want to be held or hold on the the wall. He wanted to be out on the big floor "skating fast, mommy!". :) He did really well for his first time - he fell a lot, but it never fazed him. Taylor kept telling me he was hurt because he had fallen. :) He had the best time. Taylor made big strides too! She's been pretty timid about the whole thing and would always stay close to the wall, but I think seeing Chandler out there challenged her. She was doing so well be the time we left.

The boys made a new friend. His name is Joseph. He's Chandler's age but had the opposite personality and was very shy around him. Chandler wanted to hug him, but he'd just smile. He'd give Brayden lots of hugs though! He just loved Brayden. He wanted to touch his hair over and over. He was super sweet. :)
