Cole went around the rink a couple of times with me holding him and keeping him steady, but that was all he wanted to do.  He chose to spend the rest of time watching and hanging out with the rest of the younger set.  He was incredibly patient and didn’t complain once, even though he spent close to an hour watching and waiting.  At the end of the skating session, we were all ready to find a warm place.  But, while Franny was the last one off the ice, Cole was the last one out of the arena.  The reason—he was intently focused on the zamboni cleaning the ice.  For him, I think it made the whole trip worthwhile!
