Roller Skating

I remember when I was a teenager and roller skating was the cool thing to do.  Was that the same for you as well?  For the 2013-2014 school year CJ went to a roller skating class once a week (most weeks).  He progressed from not wanting to put on skates to skating around on the carpet in about 3 months time.  He eventually would try to skate on the rink but was quite nervous by it.  So we took a break for about a year and now we're trying again.  Today was the first day we got to go and, as pictured, both boys (and many of their friends) spent the majority of the class on their hind ends.  It wasn't easy but I still hold onto the hope that one day their large motor skating skills will kick in.
