Once a month at Emma's school they have Skate Night and Emma just LOVES it. That is why she got skates for Christmas. She really wanted them and I don't blame her - the skates at the roller rink are kind of ugly (see picture above) and we all know that little Princess Emma has to always look her best! We look forward to those Thursday nights and mark them on her calendar. I remember going to Sparkles for Skate Night when I was in Elementary school. It was so much fun, especially when I was older and could roam around the rink with just my girlfriends. I remember doing the hokey pokey and racing around the rink.
Emma does not skate well enough yet to join in the races but I have been very impressed at how much progress she has made. She seems to be doing better every time we go. In the beginning, I was expecting her to fall down once and give up. But she takes a fall like a sport and is ready to go again. The place near us is called Hot Wheels and they do the Cha Cha Slide but the kids have the same fun I used to have.
Soon she will not need me to hold her hand and escort her around. But until then I will cherish the skate nights where we get to hang out together and dance and sing with each other.
