to sharpen or not to sharpen

my son is two and a half years old and i just purchased his first pair of skates. to me, a thirty year old beer league player at best, the new skates seem dull. is this for his protection or should they be sharpened so he can learn proper feel for the blades from the start. of course he will have proper protection and i will be with him at all times on the ice.

Get them sharpened. New skates usually aren't sold sharpened, but for him to get the best edge you should have them done.
