Ice skating

Owen and I went ice skating this afternoon with his friend Justin and his dad. Justin had never been skating before, whereas Owen had been a couple of times, so Justin was a little slower to pick it up. He spent a good deal of time at first basically hanging onto/by his dad's hand. However, by the end he and Owen were skating around together happily. They were pretty happy and thought it was the most fun they'd had in a while.

On a break we were having some hot chocolate, and Owen ended up bobbling it and literally splashing it all over his face. Barely any ended up on his clothes, but his entire face, hair and hands looked like he had dipped them 100% into hot chocolate. I don't even know how he did it. It was Olympic gold medal-level spillage.

There were lots of after school play dates this week. Monday Owen was at Ben's house, Wed. Zanevan was here, Thurs he was at Patrick's and Fri we met Silas at the park. All kinds of fun. He's developing some new friendships from his class, so that's nice. I really like Silas's mom too so hopefully we can get to know them a little better. They live quite close by as well.
