I decided to meet Mel and McCanless at the skating rink last night to see how well my little skater is progressing. Or skaters, I should say! I think Daddy is getting pretty good, too! Mel bought McCanless skates a few months ago and I have yet to see her in action in her new big girl skates. (Complete with pom poms and all.) I’m sure she would have settled for cheapos from Target but you know Mel, he had to order the REAL deal from the skating rink. I think she could skate professionally with these.<\/p>\n

I was able to capture a few videos when she decided to take a few minutes to come talk to her mother. She was far too busy with her little friends to come chat with Mommy and baby sister.<\/p>\n

I wish I had Mel on video. He has been working on his “backward skating.” I think he loves going to socialize and show off just as much as McCanless!<\/p>\n

Here she is on the carpet section doing rather well. She zooms much quicker has much more confidence on the carpet.
\n(I guess I would too!)<\/p>\n

I know it looks like she is going in the WRONG direction, but I realized that she likes skating to the middle section!<\/p>\n

I was pretty impressed with my little princess. (Daddy-not so much) Her skates are just like big girl skates and are not tightened, like they sometimes do for little ones. She has so much fun and loves her weekly dates with Daddy!<\/p>\n
