Tricks, tricks and more tricks!

Josh is at a class today to teach him how to take and what to expect from the SAT test. One of our friend's mom is teaching the Language Arts portion of it and she said she would teach Josh for free. So we're taking advantage of it. We still have to pay for the Math part but hey, that's only 50% of what it would have cost us otherwise. That was a very nice thing for her to offer to do that for Josh.

I have taught Jessie to jump through a hula-hoop. She doesn't just jump through, she lifts all feet off the ground at the same time and kind of hops through like a circus dog. It's too cool. Both girls now will stand on their hind feet to get a treat and jump up in the air. Jessie also crawls across the ground. Roz is too cool to do that so she just lays down and barks at me. I am amazed how quickly and easily they've learned these tricks. I wish I would think of some different ones. I'm working them up to walking on their hind feet by training them to stand on their hind feet to get the treat. Eventually I hope they walk to get the treat. I'll keep you posted on how that goes. Jessie's list of tricks is: jumping through a hoop, high five, crawling, sit, down, lay sit-up, bow, jump up and stand. Roz: Speak, sit, down, stand, sit-up, jump up and bow.
