Having gone through this with 3 kids I can recommend to lose the bobskates and get real ones. Also do not buy figure skates (yes they make them that small) The toe picks screw them right up.

I also strongly recommend picking up a skating aide. They are usually red framed with foam on them so the child can hang onto it and learn to push on their edges. We got one when the 3rd kid started and I wish I would have got it sooner. It would have saved my back a lot of pain and anguish having to balance them and pick them up.
