WTG, Austin! I'll be sure to show this to Malayna since I know she plays with jump ropes at school but has no idea what they're for. You can be her inspiration because it will be very hard for her too! Keep up the great work!

He gets the rope around, he jumps and stays upright - wtg Austin!

Thanks girls! I'm so proud. I love the look on his face after he gets it. He's been really great lately about trying things and not getting frustrated. I'm so happy about that. His therapist Jeff is great about pushing him but not to the brink of frustration. He's excellent and Austin loves him!

Sheila - Good luck with Malayna! It's so hard sometimes but when they finally reach a goal it's just so much more exciting!

Yay Austin! What a big victory! Good job! I remember how hard it was for me to learn to jump rope when I was a little girl. It took me a long time to get it. I never really got fast at it. So, I know this is a big deal. Congratulations!

Thanks Amy - And you're right! I was definitely the smallest/slowest/most uncoordinated kids growing up. I really remember being so being physically in Kindergarten but I was book smart so hey I'll take it. But yeah, Austin did great with such a hard task as is. Thanks for visiting. Happy New Year!

Wow!! That's a great accomplishment! I love the smile on his face too! Bennett tries so hard to jump - the knees bend and the arms go up but that's it for now.

Dawn that look he gave you was priceless. You could tell he was thinking "I did it".
Great job!!
