Took DS to nottingham city centre after school today to have a go at the open air ice skating as he really wanted to go last year, I thought it would be a really christmassy expierience with the german market at night and thought we could make a tradition of it.
He was rearing to go once we got there and I told him what the suprise was....but as soon as he got on the ice he lost all his confidence and clung to the sides bawling his eyes out, on the two times he got a little confidence to move more than a snails pace he fell over and hurt himself
I asked him to get off several times but he wanted to keep trying, more for me I think. So I had 45 minutes of an 8 year old clinging on to dear life distraught and being a brave soildier
not the christmas tradition I want to repeat!!!
I haven't stopped saying sorry all night, my poor baby!!
I know what Im going to threaten next time he misbehaves.....
bring out the ice skates
