Balance and Attention

Here is Holly on the Balance Beam
She can almost walk across the whole thing without falling
Here she is stretching during "circle time"
Its amazing to watch her for nearly fifteen minutes following along with the class
Touching toes, stretching left and right
Butterflies. She doesn't do all the moves quite correctly
But she does her best to copy what the teacher does and she follows along
After stretching they usually have an obstacle course
Look at Holly lining up with the other kids waiting her turn
She even listens when the teacher explains what the obstacle course is and then she runs through it herself
This is the point where it all falls apart. She runs the course several times but she always looses interest before they are ready to move on. Still we have about 35 minutes of a perfect class and another 15 of redirection. it is wonderful.
