Jia is trying to teach Luk to jump rope. She is so patient and encouraging with him. It's painful to watch. I'm holding my breath and waiting for disaster. She runs skipping around the circle of the driveway in flip flops. All graceful with long legs leaping. Luk is following her with the rope up over his shoulders. Not skipping but he thinks he is. Then they stop and he flips the rope over and steps over it and Jia tells him how great and confident he looks skipping. I'm not even comfortable with him walking on the pavement never mind running or playing with a tripping hazard. Kai has rejected the idea of playing outside tonight. It's becoming quite the effort to get him involved. We can force him outside but it seems counterproductive to force someone to have fun.
