We thought that Megan could benefit from a class down at the rec center so we enrolled her in Itty Bitty Ball. There's 4 sessions, each one teaching the kids the basics of 4 different sports. On Tuesday, the kids worked on basketball. Today, I remembered a camera so you get to see the details of Megan learning flag football. First of all, she surprised me by volunteering to lead the group in "Do as I'm Doing".
The first station was kicking off of a tee. She had such a good windup that she'd end up kicking the ball and the tee.
Next was throwing the football. She'd hold onto the point of the football then throw.
But she was amazingly accurate, even through the smallest hoop which she insisted on using because it was yellow (obviously her favorite color).
The last activity was learning to pull the flag off of someone. Megan's first turn was being the one with the football, which she had fun doing up until the time the boy caught up with her and pulled off the flag "belt" (the whole belt would come off, not just the flag). This freaked her out and she screamed as if he had just punched her. Needless to say she never got a turn being the one to chase and pull the flag.
