Tasha's Creative "Hoop" Jumps

Tasha made this up herself... sort of. :P

I was in our basement last night teaching Tasha to weave (through my legs). She did great till about halfway through a weave, and then she'd jump??? It was weird. I'd tell her "through", she'd go under my leg and right after her head went through she'd jump up.

Soo, I raised my leg a little so she wouldn't hit it (at first I thought she just felt a little confined) and tried it again. Well this time when I said "through" she jumped right over top of my leg! Then it dawned on me! Her cue word for jumping through her hoop was "through"! That's why she was jumping halfway through her weave!

So I used that to teach her a few more tricks last night! I had to work with her a minute or so on each seperate thing, but now she jumps over my extended arm & extended leg. I also raised my foot behind me and grabbed it with my hand (to form a hoop) and taught her to jump "through" it too!

I hadn't actually planned on teaching her to weave, just one of my boredom moments, so that's why I hadn't consulted my list of cue words before I started teaching her to weave.
