He has only been skating a couple of times and was finding it quite difficult to keep his balance let alone skate!! Although, its not an easy task for a little tacker!! Poor Zak :(
But being the mean mother that I am, I found this highly amusing, of course I wasn't letting Zak know that, and encouraged him with each visit to the ground.
I just happened to have my camera and started snapping away with his 21st in mind.
Zak then has another fall, by this stage even he starts to see the funny side of this ridiculous activity and starts laughing. Giving up on trying to get back up and skate his way back to the barrier, he decides to crawl there instead.
Meanwhile , I'm crying with laughter cause my son is crawling along the floor laughing.
As I'm snapping away and walking backwards to try and get that special shot, I trip over one of Zak's dear little class mates (a little girl) she was fine, but I ended up falling straight into the barrier,( and I didn't even have skates on. Karma??) and what's the first stupid thing to come out of my mouth??? yep....####!!
To which Zak's school friends respond with ( in unison )..".Zak's mum swooore!"
I was really embarrassed and hoping that none of the other Mothers had heard (it was bad enough that the kids had). But the first person that I make eye contact with, as I'm brushing myself off, just happens to be one of the Mothers who skipped the line when senses of humor were being handed out, and she just glares at me.
I was trying so hard to think of an excuse to justify myself , but the best thing I could come up with in a dumb budgie sounding voice was... 'sorry'.
With that, she rolls her eyes and walks away mumbling something, I'm still hoping they may have been words of forgiveness :)
So after all that, Zak returns his skates and swaps them for a scooter, which he did so much better on, and I sat right down the back of the cafeteria and hid behind one of those gossip mags.
