but Nyssa, who had never skated before, just couldn't stand in her skates.....
It's been another frigid, winter weekend, even though it's almost halfway into April. The bird bath was frozen solid, so I thought it was the perfect time to finally let some of my kids try out the skates I bought them before Christmas. But who to choose? Well, I must admit to getting a bit lazy in my 'old age', so chose three kids who were already in their winter wear. But then, when it came to putting on the skates, I decided two of the dolls had on footwear that was going to be too much work to remove, so I switched them for two other kids. And that's how Coco, Erzulie and Nyssa ended up being the ones to go skating..... The 'rink' was a nice small circle, with an elephant statue in the middle for them to hold onto.... but Nyssa, who had never skated before, just couldn't stand in her skates..... Erzulie was still tying up her skates. "Just wait a minute. There's another chair over there. Try holding onto that" The chair helped a lot, and Nyssa was able to 'skate' around the rink....
