Roller Skating

I forgot how hard it can be to learn new skills. You watch a baby learn to walk, talk, etc. and it's so exciting. Teaching a kid to roller skate is just plain hard...and a bit comical. Gussie is old enough to grasp the basics and have a decent sense of balance to start with. She's been roller skating a couple times before so she needed just a little help. 

Winky was just crazy. The best way I can describe it is like pushing a wheelbarrel around the room. She couldn't get her feet for more than a few seconds unless we supported her. We would just giggle as we walked around the track.

Winky liked to rest and touch the floor. I'm not sure if she was checking to see if it was moving or what, but it was funny to watch.

Catch-Up time

Wow! Where has the time flown? To be honest, quite a bit of it has flown by on facebook and trying to stay warm during these 5!! months of winter. UGH!! We've had a few big events in the last few months and Winky's birthday was a lot of fun in February.

She loved her princess cake. 

The party was at a the gymantics place where the girls take classes and the kids had a lot of fun jumping in the pit, bouncing on the trampolines, and climbing the ropes.
