Olympics here we come!!

Elise is obsessed with the Olympics. I am an avid watcher of the Today Show (aka I go through withdrawl if I don't get my daily dose of Matt Lauer.) and they have been promoting the Olympics like no tomorrow. Every day Elise asks me, Mommy, do the UMP-E-LIPICS (Olympics) start today!?!?!

Anyway the event she is most obsessed with is iceskating. She pretends to ice skate all the time. She will put on her pretend ice skates and skate around the house.

We decided to have her do the real thing...now Mark and I have not skated in at least 10 years, but since I had the most senior experience, I got to put on the skates with her.

At first, she was super timid on the ice, but by the 3rd time around the rink she got used to it and even got brave and let go of my hand for a few seconds. Ice skating was a success and I think we will go again real soon!
