Roller Derby

So this spring has been all about roller skating for Tim.  We've been skating just about every day after school, most days on the weekends, and sometimes we'll even go for a second skate in the evenings when Andy gets home from work. 

We've skated around the block, at local playgrounds, and at many of our favorite nature parks.   As a result, Tim has become a fairly accomplished skater.  In fact, he's confident enough now to skate unassisted (took a few weeks for this to happen) and we're finally able to have Charlie join us on our skate sessions.  (When Tim was really wobbly on his skates I simply couldn't handle Tim and Chuck at the same time.)

Of course the addition of Charlie to our outings pleases Tim (and Charlie) and the two of them seem equally thrilled when Tim zips around on wheels.

So, I should have been happy with things the way they were, right?  Here comes bad mommy again.  I don't know what would have possessed me to allow Tim and Charlie to have their own little Iditarod there at the park.  We all know how this is going to end, right?

Fortunately, no bones were broken and nothing was scraped (thank goodness for pads!)  But even more important was the fact that Tim didn't hold it against Charlie in the slightest (or Charlie against Tim) and they continue to be the best of skating partners.
