Ribbon Stick

During MyGym on Thursday, one of their gymnastic skills was balancing on the balance beam holding a ribbon stick and waving it up and down. They have used this ribbon stick before and Jaimisen is absolutely fascinated with it. When it was his turn on the balance beam, he was more interested in waving and watching the ribbon stick go up and down than he was at making sure his feet were still on the balance beam. He kept asking Aimee if he could "hold it just for a little bit" and she kept telling him he had to let the other kids use it. He waited patiently until all the kids were done and she let him play with it for a little longer before putting it away. She asked me if he had something like it at home and when I told her he didn't, she said she was going to give him one from MyGym because they have a few. After class, she called me over to the side away from everyone else and gave me a wrapped up ribbon stick. I gave it to Jaimisen in the car out of sight from the other kids and he absolutely loves it. His eyes got all wide as he gasped and said "RIBBON STICK!!!" I told him Aimee was letting him have it since he was such a good listener. He brings it everywhere now.
