Digger on Ice!

Digger, the class puppy, gets to go home every week with one of the class' kids and they get to keep record of it on Digger's journal. We take Digger along our usual weekend ritual of eating out, groceries, shopping and as it happens, a birthday celebration!

Thanks to Ate Rachel for inviting Vivian to her birthday weekend celebration... on ice. The celebrant spent her afternoon with her close friends, and Vivian in tow, at the local ice rink. The big-little-girl excitedly put on her ice skates and hurriedly went on to the rink. After one round on the rink, she comes back with a face like she's about to hold a spider in her hands. After some time though, she bravely went back on the ice and after a few more rounds, had a respectable stance and a not-so-smooth jerky forward movement. That first round was so

far behind her and she was definitely having fun. Her last round she did all by her lonesome. She bravely pushes away from the wall, for the very first time. She was doing great...until she slips and falls. Sat there for a few seconds, looking at us from afar thinking of how to deal. She realizes the solution and starts crawling to the nearest wall...just as the official clangs on the gate, signaling the end of the skating. Zamboni comes out and does its job.
