1st Day of Brain Highways Work

So yesterday was Memorial's Day and it was almost the end of the day before we started on our first day of creeping.  I will admit I still didn't listen to all of the audio or read all of the handouts yet.  I wanted to get started despite that.

We broke down the patterning and creeping into three sessions so 10 minutes of creeping and cut the patterning by one third.  We started with patterning and Nick kind of got the hang of the patterning positions.  I think I will have to help him a few days and he will get it on his own soon.  Then we started our creeping together.  Although I do not know what a perfect creeping position looks like I do a few things that they said they looked for.  And Nick does not have it down.  Lol!  I am not supposed to correct him in any way.   It's painful to watch him because he is exerting so much energy.

What was more painful was creeping with him.  I am not a kid anymore.  This hurt!  My shoulders hurt and my knees hurt.  When I went to the Mandatory Parent Meeting they assessed me at 40% creeping capabilities.  So I need a lot of help, but I have no clue what I'm supposed to correct.  So I was just creeping along.  And by the end of the longest 10 minutes of my life I was huffing and puffing.  And I wasn't even trying to go fast! Looks like a nice side effect of creeping with Nick might be weight loss!

We didn't finish our 3 sessions until 10pm.  Sigh.  We took breaks and it was a little hard trying to control the little ones while we did our thing.  I would have had them join us, but the space we have is just too small and they were all over us.

Nick was really excited about doing his creeping because I mentioned it might help his bedwetting and now he wants to try for 45 minutes of creeping today.  We shall see...   This is going to be a long, hard journey, but hopefully well worth it.
