We had a few nice days this week and because of Passover I was off from work. Leah and me spent Thursday and Friday outside in the complex. Plenty of room in the driveway for painting, bike riding and other activities.
On Thursday I put Leah's easel out front and she painted a few pictures for us. She stayed entertained for a straight hour with no complaints.
Friday we did some more painting and took out her bike, training skates and scooter.
It was her first time on the training skates. After about 10 minutes she had her balance down, another 20 minutes and she was off on her own. She did very well at learning how to fall. She learned on her own how to utilize her brakes in order to help herself not fall.
She will have a hard time adjusting to real skates (they move very quickly, not the like the pvc wheels on the training skates) but at least until we get a pair (probably next week) she will have the general idea down. We also have to pick her up some wrist guards. Matt used to rollerblade and I've skated since I could walk so I look forward to going to the skating rink, all three of us. Will be a lot of fun.
After the initial fear and bout of shyness this kid has a ton of confidence spilling out of her. You can see it in her face.
