Knowing me though, when Sweet-Pea needs a new size, we'll just go buy another pair since I'll want to keep her very first skates. Yeah, I'm guilty when it comes to being a sentimental sap. I have her first ballet shoes ready to go in one of those display boxes you hang on the wall. I just need to find the time to actually put it together.
Anyhow, here are her new skates...the guy at the shop even sharpened them and got them looking like new for us. Whoever had them before, hardly ever wore them!
Sweet-Pea was fitted in the store, and was able to walk around in them very easily...she surprised me, but Edward said that after all taking ballet, he knew she'd have great balance! Once we got home, she of course HAD to try them on again. She can't wait until her first lesson!! Here she is putting on her new skates.
Her first lesson is on Thursday, so I'll update with photos if I get some good ones. Lionel also purchased a pair of hockey skates so he can skate around the rink while she's having her lesson. He is excited to have that fun free time.
Well.....since the kids are going to have fun skating...I decided (with a bit of encouragement from the peanut gallery) to get my skates (from the 80's!) out of the basement and try them on. Guess what...they fit!!! They even look great, so maybe I'll be out on the ice with the kids a bit this year. I think I'll keep the hospital's phone number in my pocket though - just in case. hee hee I'll keep you posted!

Hehehe... you funny girl! I LOVE ice-skating too, but with me being over-weight the fall is so much worse!!!ouch ouch!
Thse skates look great!
That is one way to get involved with your kids. ;)
So cool that you found such a great place to get the skates...I would keep the first pair also. ;) It's important and such a wonderful keepsake for sweetpea when she is older.
Be carefull out there on the ice!!
Can't wait to see some pics of her practice. She will do great with having taken ballet before hand!
Have a blessed rest of the week. :D
