At least the ice should help with the pain.

Looks like a SATS gram.

Get behind him Jarvis and push. just long enough for him to understand the movements he needs to do and balance.

When I was his age we’d run on the pointy things on the toes, then slide.

Rollerblading and ice skating are similar. If you can do one then you can do the other.

Like water skiing, except there’s no boat and the water is very hard.

The hardest thing about ice skating is the ice when you come right down to it.

I have lousy balance. I’ve never been able to roller skate, ice skate, water ski, snow ski, skateboard, surf (except body surfing), pogo stick, jump rope, etc., and I get motion sick in any vehicle I’m not driving. I have a defective pair of inner ears, I guess. I can’t sing on key, either, but I can hear that I’m off key if I hear a recording of me, just not when I’m singing.

Sedgwick Nuttingwham!

He’s young and still padding out his bottom line.

Tie on a BIG pillow! :)

He used to having people do these things for him.

When learning to ice skate, it is better to fall on your backside than on your knees!

A few reasons why little kids don’t take falling as seriously as adults:

 1) Not as far to fall.

 2) Not as much weight behind whatever body part they land on.

 3) Mom’s around to kiss the boo-boo.

 4) They’re probably not paying the doctor bills.
