Ice Skating

So if you have read the post about Christmas, then you know that one of Ethan's request of things to do was to go ice skating. He has been asking to go for a while now. David and I could not figure out why he was asking to go. Let's be honest......we both come from small town USA in Louisiana where the only extra curricula activities end with the word ball---- football, basketball, and baseball-- the 3 Louisiana sports! So when our son ask to go ice skating, we are a little confused! Then it hits us...Caillou!!! If you have a 3 year old, then you know who Caillou is! Caillou is not David nor my favorite child! For those of you who don't.....let me explain. He is a cartoon kid on the PBS cahnnel who is bald and whinny! But for some reason 3 year olds are fascinated with him. At least mine is! We think it is because he does real life experiences with his family! And of course he went ice skating! So Ethan finally made it to the rink! He loved it! Much to our surprise! He also got to see a Zamboni (not sure if I spelled that right)! The machine that smooths out the ice. Caillou loves the Zamboni and so does Ethan! David skated with him..which I have to say he did pretty good for a big guy from Louisiana where there are NO ice skating rinks! I love the fact that we are wearing short sleeve shirts at a ice skating rink..only in Houston Texas would you find that! It was a fun day. We haven't signed Ethan up for lessons yet, but we will keep our options open!
