Skate, baby, skate!

Some have asked me, at what age can you start to skate. I suppose there is no fixed rule...

When I first put my little one on the ice at 14 months, she squealed with delight
  BUT she could hardly stand straight up on the skates
When I next took here there, she screamed and kicked when I put on her skates
  They were now too small for her
Now she is 2 years and 2 weeks old, she wants to run on the ice
  Though she still clings on tightly to my fingers
