These days Grace is really enjoying dance and just began ice skating lessons. She has been obsessed with the idea of skating since her cousins got skates for Christmas but last week we were watching figure skating on TV and it was all she could talk about. I was able to find a toddler preschool skating class that was reasonable and she went on Wednesday for the first time and she loved it. I asked her if she liked it and she said "Yes. I fall down A LOT but I not hurt. I just keep getting back up. I love ice skating class".
