Rudy was invited to Mary Emma's birthday party at the local skating rink. I think this was only his third time on skates: once after Brady's "hockey" camp in 2009, once in Phoenix, and for his own hockey camp in 2011.
I had mentally prepared myself for a lot of frustration and meltdowns from Rudy, but was pleasantly surprised. When we first got on the ice, he whined and complained about how he didn't know how to skate. I finally turned him around and showed him that we were already a quarter of the way around the rink, so he WAS skating. After that...he was off.
He liked it so much that now he even thinks he might want to have his party at the ice rink.
