Skate Party

Kloefkorn had their second skate party of the year, which is quickly becoming a favorite event in our house. We have had a rough go of it the last few times we went but every thing changed this time around. First of all, Carter taught himself how to roller blade with a $10 pair I found. So he now takes his roller blades there and he is completely independent and has a blast blazing around the rink. I asked Camden if he really wanted to go because last time he cried a lot and we had to keep forcing him back onto the rink. He really wanted to go so we all went as a family. That means Callan gets to tag along as well. After I put Callan's skates on he waved our hands away from him and said " I don't need your help. I can do it all by myself". And that is exactly what he did. We only saw him a few times throughout the night when he got a little tired or thirsty. He did so great out there. He would fall but get right bake up. He got to go around with Ava, our neighbor so that was fun for them. And Camden put on a brave face and went out there and did it. We walked around with him twice (not holding on to him or anything) and when he fell we let him get up on his own. He figured out how to get up and from that point on he did his thing. He was slow and steady but did such a good job. That is huge thing for Camden because he often doesn't like to fail, and if he falls that is failure so he usually chooses not to even try. At the end of the night he was super excited that he was able to do it and had fun with his friends.
