Vivi doesn't like soccer. She doesn't like basketball. She's not all that into riding her bike. But she loves to skate.
She and her Dad bought skates two weeks ago. It took exactly two days of hand holding and one day of falling on her bottom before it clicked: she learned to fall (forward onto her kneepads instead of backwards onto her tailbone) and she learned to glide.
Now, she's unstoppable. And our neighborhood has enough kids on skates to start a roller derby.
