Yep, those are “roller blades” on Mikaela’s feet. The three wheels on each skate are arranged in a triangle – a “training” formation. They come with tools to convert them to in-line skates when she’s ready. Mikaela saw some of her (somewhat older) friends on the block on their roller blades and was melting down until I offered to go get her skates of her own. She’s in a “do it my self!” stage (as she puts it) these days. She struggled mightily, but she was finally able to stand up on her own in her skates. She was very excited, exclaiming, “I DID IT!” And very shortly thereafter, she was ready to remove the skates. But I’m pretty sure she’ll want to try them again sometime soon.
That’s MIkaela’s new buddy Grace, who lives right across the cul-de-sac from us, standing with her.
