While his first pair of skates still fit (which will only be another month or two) the holiday season was the perfect time for Ryder to get out on the ice. He had been walking around in skates at home with guards over the blades, so at least he could get the sensation of the narrow foot print, but he had only touched the ice one other time. So a few days after Christmas, we got our gear together and rendezvoused with Fritz, Grandma and cousins, Graeme and Vivien at the Cabin John Ice Rink for some open skating. Ryder’s was excited and confident up until he actually stepped out on the rink and realized how little control he had. he was hysterical and we had a great time!
