Today I had to watch two of the kids about an hour later than I normally do. We did a Christmas ornament craft and when we were done, Jojo took it upon herself to keep the kids entertained for a bit while I cleaned up. I hear her saying "Ok, we are going to practice our herkeys, pikes, and jumps." I start to chuckle, those are all cheerleading jumps. I feel the floor start shaking and then she says "Great pike Jakey, your legs were very straight. You almost got that one Mason, keep trying." Then she had them doing jumping jacks, stretches, and push-ups. She was so patient with them and had a lot of encouraging words for each of them.
I just love when all the kids are getting along and playing nicely, makes my day sooooooooooo much easier.
...and I'm sure their parents were excited to have that energy worked out of them too! Way to go, Jojo!
