Bo's sixth ice skating lesson

We actually arrived at lessons early this time which meant Bo could go out there on his own to do stuff. He was a little nervous at first because he wanted Daddy to go with him but that was not allowed. Instead Daddy went down towards the red line and Bo was going to skate over to give me a high five. He was excited about this idea and he started off well.

Then he headed to the boards and skated with one hand on the boards all the way to half line. And yes, that is a big smile on his face here. He was very proud of himself.

As the lessons started and went on, he did just kind of stand there again watching everyone. The other kids are really starting to move around a lot so the teachers had to pick up Bo to move him along with everyone. Then we had a potty break with about 10mins left.

Here is a video of him during the lesson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6gzozuURaU

We hurried to the bathroom and made our way back with about 5mins left. Bo didn't want to go back on the ice but mean old Daddy made him. I told him to skate to the red line and back to the exit then we could go home. This seem to get him going and he was all for this. He actually did the "penguin walk" as they call it at first and was moving at a good pace. Then he just glided all the way to the red line. He had trouble stopping/turning around. When he finally did and knew he could leave he went straight to the door. Daddy praised him a lot and we went to the store to get some candy as his reward.
