Skater

We took Wm ice skating for the fist time today.  We thought he may be freaked out by how slippery the ice was - but he LOVED it.  We had to literally drag him out of there after hours of skating. Both Steve and I were dying...our old dogs were barkin'.  But Wm refused to leave until he saw the zamboni.  He also watched a kid's hockey game on another rink and was fascinated that kids could play hockey!  But, the highlight of the trip for him was probably when Santa skated out.  Wm shyly skated over to Santa and talked to him.  He was THRILLED.  Santa even told Wm he was very proud of how well he was skating!  Wm said he thought Santa came to the ice rink because it was cold, like the North Pole.  As we were leaving, Wm asked if he could go ice skating every day.  I wanted to get a lot of pictures, but my phone died right after I snapped this one of Wm getting ready to go out onto the ice:
