What a joy to hear Nevaeh singing. She has the first line of Pepeha off by heart, and enjoys Ode to Joy, and Don’t. Our music session with Marilyn was great with lots of playing single chords. Nevaeh was great at waiting for Marilyn to open the door after the previous student left before getting up form the chair. We waited quietly for five minutes. While we waited Nevaeh looked at the chords in her music book. The black and white key pattern entertained her.
RDA was a blast. Aunty came to help as a sidewalker. Nevaeh grinned from ear to ear as Lexi trotted along the grass. She bounced in time in the saddle. It took a couple of goes for Nevaeh to remember to lean back as we went down the hill. She immediately remembered leaning forward to go up.
There was a fantastic dismount in the arena at the end of our ride. Nevaeh remembered to lean over Lexi and took her foot out of the stirrup. She gave pulling her left foot out a really good try, but her shoes gripped the stirrup. We will work on prompting her by tapping behind the knee to encourage her to lift as well as pull backwards.
Sue was excited to hear Nevaeh’s beautiful singing. Sue was also taken by Nevaeh’s new shoes. Nevaeh has been stomping to ensure that her shoes light up. So cute!
