Building the Cradle Redeux

Wednesday, May 18, 2011



Therapy

I asked Aaron to jump down into pillows on the ground.  


    “I can’t.  I might not be good enough.”


Then, Aaron flew off the platform so quickly that he surprised me.  I 

could not spot him.  He landed in the pillows on his knees.


    “That’s not safe.  Land on your feet.”


Aaron remounted the platform and jumped again, this time controlling

 his body and landing on his feet.

Later that evening:  Marc and I walked the dogs.  


“I was surprised to see that L. and M. were clamping the wood for

 the cradle before they cut it.  I usually just put my foot on it to secure it.”


“No.  The workbench is too slippery and they don’t have the skill or the confidence.  

They need to work safely if they are going to work with me.”


“Actually, it’s a great idea.  I wish I’d thought of doing it that way.
