Sam finished Pre-K today ready for Christmas. For the last day, they had a bit of a Christmas party. They all went ice skating on the nursery rink. Each child had to have an adult on the ice with him or her, so I went on with Sam. Lloyd came with us for the afternoon and took pictures of us. It's a good job he c ame with us, because as I got out of the truck and bent to pick up a bag, my back went 'clunk' and I couldn't move!!!! Oh my Gawd, it hurt so much!!!!!! So I'm glad Lloyd was there. I DID manage to get on the ice with Sam but I used one of the skate frae thingies to lean on for support and didn't really 'skate'. Lloyd helped me with my skates and of course was on hand to make plenty of jokes about old age and walking frames...what with Tess and her back problems and now me - I said to her that we will both be walking round the scrapbook stores with our walking frames before we are 40!!! Both geriatrics lol.
I will have to get my Mom to send me some Jelliatrics!!! :)
Anyway, Sam LOVED his skating - after two minutes he got off the ice and said he hated it (he always says this) and said he never wants to skate again! So I told him that maybe he shouldn't skate towards Daddy as he does great going the other way - I could see him thinking about that and so he got back on the ice and went the other way and then he was OFF and stayed on the full 40 minutes going faster and faster!!! I was with him most of the time until he told me to go away!!!! Hahahahaha! So I stayed with Lloyd for a few minutes and then asked Sam if I could skate with him again and he said 'Sure' so we skated together again until the end......sometimes he's just soooo independent lol!
He had a fun time!
