What we have been working on lately

We practice the question box for our level 3 freestyle audition nearly every time the outdoor is available. Kai is pretty good at doing the smaller circles but when we do the large ones he disconnects from the pattern. At one point he went through a stage where I over did the stopping in the box and Kai would cut through the middle of the circle and rush into the box. He was also slightly reluctant to leave the box. I started alternating where we stopped and that solved the issue.

Kai is slowly getting stronger and he maintains the stretching down for longer periods of time. He knows that stretching down feels better and he wants to do it when he remembers. 
We also got pretty good at doing the sideways into transitions on the rail. This is another way I can get Kai to stretch down.

Our liberty has also been going well. I can ask more of him and he doesn't think about leaving. And when he does leave he reconnects much faster. 
 
Farrah's lessons are so helpful and inspiring! She got us right to work on our level 3 freestyle audition and we are quickly getting closer and closer!
 
We are super pumped waiting for the Fawn Anderson clinic to finally happen! We have been waiting for months and to think that it is so close is so exciting!
