We really wanted to get him some anyway, now that we're someplace he could actually use them more. He had also run across my old pair before we moved, and insisted on bumbling around the house in them, until that was outlawed.
So the chore chart was just a good excuse to get the man a pair of blades! I found a great huge 2nd hand sporting good store out here and picked up a small pair. They're cool because they adjust about 3 sizes. So he should be able to wear them for a while. If, that is, he can ever figure out how to actually skate.
He spends most of the time like this:
We had to watch him a lot at first and make sure he didn't bash his face in--we know all about that kind of thing. But he's gotten a little better since.
But I would recommend against rollerblading around a hyped up crazy dog who's running circles.
Ahhh! Moon Bear attack!!!
When he lived through the Sultan attack I knew he was going to figure out these blades eventually. Luckily he has all summer to do it!
I just wish I could figure out some way to harness the energy of the boy and the dog and put it to good use-like generating electricity or something. Or if I could just borrow some of it for exercising with.

The boy looks rowdy on his blades.
and the whirlwind of a dog
Love you
Cracking up. I love the forward fall shot, and the Sully series. And Max looks so good natured about it. That one where Sully's coming up from the front? The look on Max's face is pretty much the look on mine when I'm body surfing and a big wave up and smacks me. I often wished I could harness peoples' energy - like Rich Dixon; I could have run the studio off him for months.
It looks like fun! We got our kids rollerskates a couple years ago and I think they have each used them twice. Kind of frustrating! I hope Max gets a lot of use out of his!
Ha ha! Cute. I followed the moon bear link, and unfortunately I still don't really get it. Anyway, I made myself a chore chart and just got my first prize too - a bike trailer for Jaydon so I can actually use my bike again! Too bad all my prizes probably can't be that cool. Anyway, where is that 2nd hand sporting goods store??
By the way, I love your headers too! :)
We got my niece rollerblades for her bday when she was about Max's age and she loved them until she fell super hard on her tailbone and then she hated them, ha! Love the action shots of Max!
I never mastered roller blades myself. Maybe I can live vicariously through the children :)
I find you and your parents' relationship so cute. Have I said that before? I want that with my own little dears, when they grow up and leave me.
