Monkeynastix is really a lot of fun now. I remember the first couple times and how Declan didn't want to listen but now he's great. He's so enthusiastic about it, clapping, jumping, running on the spot! Today he practiced pinging or squeezing clothes pegs and placing them on the edges of a flat rubber circle. Then after placing them all he had to unclip them. I love it. I never thought before about the little skills you have to learn, that don't just happen naturally. He also learned how to crawl with his hands and feet only along a ladder raised off the floor. Raised about two inches only but still took balance, coordination and courage. He had three tries and each time was better than before. I was very proud of Declan. He also held my hands and we practiced lunges together. Form is not great but it was honestly the best bit of excercise I've ever been a part of.
And lastly they tried putting a golf ball into a little ring. Declan was able to swing the putter and (kept letting go with one hand but) he did hit the ball. He got his new sticker for the week and as soon as he got home he put it on the fridge.
Can't wait for tomorrow morning since I'm off all day...and the rest of the week too.
