Harder Exercises

I have to say the exercises have gone quite well this summer. Harry found some of the repeats hard - the jetlag definitely played a part in him doing them half-heartedly on occasions, but we are now moving onto harder exercises, and I feel he is more than ready to move on. Today he has been very focused and it has been fun for all.

I'm very excited for him to start a new year at school, and wonder what his teachers will think. His speech has been improving again (longer, more mature sentences), and he makes us laugh with some of the comments he comes out with.

He is also doing very well with the Toe-by-Toe reading scheme - his reading generally is very much improved. He still has no interest in picking up a book (unless its @ bedtime and it delays "lights out"), but I live in hope!

Holiday Exercises


Well, we managed to do the exercises for the entire holiday. Space was a bit of a problem, particularly when we were finishing the exercise "walking in a figure of 8 round the cushions", but Harry did really well. He just needs to slow everything down a tad - he does love to speed through the exercises if he can.

We flew home overnight, so did 2 sets before we left the hotel, and the next day (@ home) we did 1 set around lunchtime and the 2nd set around tea-time. So, well done to Harry!

Holiday

We are off on holiday tomorrow, so planning to take the bean bags and poster only.
We will get up early to do the morning exercise - and hopefully manage one when we arrive in the Caribbean, as long as Harry isn't TOO TIRED! (flight is 9 hrs) :) Will check back in again on our return.
