This course is a "novice" course - so no see-saw. See-saw only comes in at the top level courses.

We're still training it tho - Dixie made a HUGE leap forward on this training the other week. She will actually run up the see-saw now, and walk past the pivot point -- if there's frankfurter at the end!

Just two weeks ago she'd walk to the pivot slowly, go into a scared crouch while it moved, then skulk off the end. I have a board with a small axle at home and that gets her used to the movement. (I still don't let it bang down. I'll get her confident with the movement then introduce the bang)

The teeter-totter is like a black hole for Eddie. He does everything with enthusiasm, and he'll even go over teeter, but as soon as it bangs, it's all over. I have a good instructor now who's sensitive to his issues. I'm hopeful we'll get over it.

I just love Dixie's enthusiasm. She was in full sprint.
