Tricks and Training

[Laurelin]

Here's what we've got on the jump over my arms so far with Mia. I lost my clickers again so hence all the 'Yayyyyyyy!' lol

Summer is still taking baby steps.

OMG hahaha Mia is just so darn cute, she cracks me up. Summer looks so excited after she jumps, haha. That trick has been on my list of tricks to teach for ages... maybe I'll do that one next.

Georgie will now jump into my lap on a low chair! Yay George! The boys are ready for me to start adding pillows to start getting more towards standing. I tried "sitting" against a wall and my thighs started killing me (probably should NOT have tried that after two hours of BodyPump and Cycling earlier that night) and I don't have any big books, so I'm gonna try pillows. I think Payton will get it right away, Auggie starts losing confidence when it gets higher because he thinks he's too little. He won't even jump on my bed. So I'm not sure how this will go with him...
Georgie thinks being asked to jump up is BEST GAME EVER!!

It was really easy to teach them. Mia got the entire thing in two sessions. Summer's taking a bit longer to chain both sides (the side where she starts behind me is harder for her). I've got to come up with Mia's next trick now! She does so much better if it's a fast paced kind of trick, haha.

Ohhh Mia looks great! Summer is adorable. She's always so happy.

That's such a flashy looking trick, too, I love it.

Now I can't decide what I want to work on next with Jackson.

Good idea! I think I'm going to use this to start Jackson's handstand work.

Also, Zuma is the perfect size. Can you clone her and send her to me? kthx.

Awesome Sara!

Okay so I got an idea and here is part of our very first session with it. I've created a monster! Mia thinks this is so much fun.



I need to get a better bag that doesn't collapse so easily. I had to prop it up against something and even then the mouth would still collapse down.

And yeah I realize bad me repeating the command so many times. Didn't realize I was doing that. I guess it's sometimes good to see yourself on video after all.
