It has been five years since Zoe was born, and to celebrate we invited a bunch of friends and family to join us at The Palace to do some roller skating. Before we went there, Zoe wanted to make sure that she knew what to do. She wore her helmet and skates around the house to do a little practice.
She kept upright and took her time, so she was ready for the big rink. When we got to The Palace, it was a little early, so we couldn't skate yet. Luckily we brought Olivia with us to the rink, so the two of them got to play some of the games that were available. They were really in to the games that give you tickets. When they played two of them, they hit the jackpot!
Once the music came on, the skating began and she was out there doing her thing. I'm not sure how many kids had skated before, but most of them seemed to really enjoy it. Even some of the adults got in on the action.
After a while, it was time for pizza and cake. Zoe really liked her troll-topped cake and got to blow out the big 5 candle.
It is amazing how much difference a single year can make. There are a number of things that haven't changed, like the consistency of her sleeping or the variety of foods she consumes, but it is clear that she is growing in to her own, independent person. When it was time to leave, she had figured out that she could keep one skate steady and straight, while she pushed herself forward with the other foot.
I can't wait to see what the next year will bring. Happy Birthday Love Bug!
