I finally got to a computer & could watch Art's videos! What a superstar!!!
I love how excited everyone is about this! These last weeks have def. been the most popular ToftheW's! It's AWESOME!!!
Cross & I have been working on foot stalls. Very slowly. I'm not sure if it's my inability to put my legs right but it just seems like he has to jump quite a distance to get up there! Or it's just my perspective, but it seems really high!! And when he dismounts he likes to come forward and use my body as a stepping block, and that's not cool.
We have been doing lots of practicing jumping onto a narrow stool thing, which has helped his balance considerably. (need to get an exercise ball!). He absolutely wouldn't get all four feet on it at first (I do have a boring video of that!) but what helped was putting the stool in between two "end tables" and just having him walk across, eventually asking him to wait on the stool and making the distance from the table-stool-table wider and wider. Then asking him to jump from the floor.
We're actively working on a one footed foot stall where I'm on my side. Hopefully a video to come as soon as we start to make some progress
