Here’s some pics of Jake from his ice skating lesson at the Cary Ice House<\/a> today. The lead counselor, Tina, let Timmy and me don ice skates and join Jake on the rink.<\/p>\n

Jake is a very careful kid — ergo, he is a very careful skater. He did a great job negotiating the little course Brianna set up for the beginners. But he’s also very very slow…the other kids attempt to put some speed in their course, but also would fall down quite a bit. The other kids didn’t mind falling, but I guess it’s something Jake doesn’t care to do.<\/p>\n

Jake proudly told us that he only fell one time all week!<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
