5Y1M Ice skating

K and I started learning ice skating in Wilmington Delaware for the first time this summer.

Daddy knows how to skate back in college although he hasn't really been skating much throughout the years. I remember that he took me to ice skating when we first started dating. The school we were in has an olympic size ice rink and many olympic hopefuls are trained there. I apparently didn't remember much how I managed to stay upright. But I remember skating being kind of fun.

K's first time on the ice without holding onto someone or something. The first time on ice she held onto our sweet friend Sharon's hands ALL the time. Sharon is a seasoned skater so she generously offered her help and took Kodi around the rink. The second time she took a group lesson and held onto the coach ALL the time too. It was a big break through that by the third try, she would let go of anything for a short moment.


K drew her and Sharon (only the hand part) on ice.


K and I love ice skating so much that we continue to skate since coming back to Singapore. We also decided that we should get our own skates as the rentals here are not in the greatest condition. I took one lesson while in the States and started practicing gliding and forward/backward swizzles.  I have never imagined myself being able to balance on ice let alone moving along hopefully in a graceful manner. Three of us signed up for ice skating lessons of different levels in October at Jcube.  I am looking forward to new skills!
