Amanda tried inline skating again this evening after a 6-month break.... But today, she skated only for a while as the skies turned dark and it started to drizzle.... I am glad she has not lost touch despite the long break, but I do gather that she is losing out on her stamina. In the past, she could skate for a long time and for quite a distance.... or probably, her interest has died down.....
Amanda's very 1st skating attempt on 1 Jan 2008 (left) vs now 20 Jun 2009 (centre & right)
Amanda learnt inline skating all by herself on 1 Jan 2008. First she watched Daddy do it for the 1st time on 1 Jan 2008, then after 1 hour, she told us she wanted to rent a pair of skates to try. Her first half hour was spent holding onto the railing all by herself whilst wearing the skates. Then after half an hour, she suddenly let go of the railing and was able to balance on her own without holding! Daddy and I were impressed with her!.... and there she was, able to skate on her first attempt and within 1 hour...... To reward her, we bought her a pair of skates immediately on her next skating attempt.
