Skating...or maybe not

With my husband having great athletic talent and coordination, I was hoping that our son would take after him and be ready to skate this year. As you can see from the picture, his nickname "Spaghetti Legs" accompanies him to the rink as well.


So what do you do with a kid who can't/won't stand up on his skates?
You get out the skates with no blades, also known as sneakers.
