Ice skating

Lily went ice skating for the very first time today. And loved it. We were invited to go yesterday with our neighbour Elizabeth and her 7 year old daughter Sophie. But we didn't have the right gear out (like gloves) and it was fairly late in the day when they asked us. So after saying yes, I then thought no. Well, Lily kicked up such a stink and her behaviour was so appalling (she hit me and pulled my hair then threw a toy car at me, I couldn't believe it) we definitely weren't going.

But today was earlier and we were better prepared. We went to the ice rink at Montchoisi. Lily wore Sophie's old ice skates (and Elizabeth has said we can borrow them) and we didn't have to pay to get in as Lily is under 6 years old. But I did hire a frame for Lily to use so she kept her balance (shaped like a zimmer frame for the elderly but made of light plastic).

Charlotte had to amuse herself (off the ice) but after a tentative start Lily was happy with her frame. She even had a quick go without the frame.

She really wants to go back. Can't see why we wouldn't, so long as her behaviour doesn't deteriorate again.

Oh, and I forgot the camera :(
