I want to skate, too.

We have these rigid plastic vent covers intended to direct the air flow more into the room and less at the windows. Janet has turned them into skates. She turns them upside down, and slides around the carpet on them. Busby has also taken up the practice. Now he's telling Janet to skate on the ice. I just told them to stay on the carpet.

This reminds me of Busby's recent first skating experience. (I wasn't there because (a) Janet had to nap and (b) pregnant + ice + skates = disaster.) We had Busby all excited about going ice skating, and Big Kahuna took him to the skating party. Skates were rented and placed on Busby's feet to which he immediately declared that they were "heaby" and didn't want them on anymore. Kahuna got him partly around the rink, then all was lost.

When they got home, Busby declared that he had skated, that he loved it, and wanted to do it again. Um, sure. Maybe in another year or so.
