They know how to "walk" in skates. They just haven't got the gliding in skates down. I can't figure out how to explain it to them. I showed them what my feet do (no, I wasn't wearing skates) but telling someone how to skate is kind of like telling someone how to walk. You just do it.
Poor Vanessa thinks she should be able to do everything perfectly the first time. Saying 'it takes practice' does not comfort her.

They might not EVER figure it out. I know what my feet are "supposed" to do and the motions I "should" go through, but skating and I never really got along. Now, my fanny and the WOOD got along great! Thing is, I'm not uncoordinated at all and am actually very agile...just never took to skating.
And, why are they learning on BLADES?! Isn't that harder than standard roller skates? LOL
