Another family called and invited us to go rollerskating. We had never taken the boys skating before so this seemed like the perfect opportunity. Oh my goodness…I have not laughed that hard in a long time. Colm was hilarious. I can’t even tell you how many times he fell down, but he would get right back up every time with a smile on his face. He clung to the wall for a while and then realized that he could skate in the middle of the rink, under the disco ball, without holding onto the wall and there was a pretty good chance that no one would run into him out there. Liam also clung to the wall for a while, fell down a lot less, but melted down into tears towards the end. Rollerskating was a lot harder than he thought it was going to be and he was not as good at it as he thought he should be. With a LOT of encouragement he got back out there and ended the day on a positive note. Phew! (Also, remind me in my next lifetime to teach my kids how to skate when they are younger. When you are helping them not to fall when they weigh 80 lbs and they do fall and pull you down with them…it HURTS!!!)
