Tumbling, week 2

Okay, so Miles had his second tumbling class this morning. All week he kept asking about tumbling class, and was all excited to go again. Well, this morning at breakfast Mike asked him if he was going to tumble, to which Miles gave a very firm "no." After a bit of discussion, I tried the bribery method, even let him pick out his treat if he were to tumble and behave in class. He wanted cookies, so we agreed that if he behaved and tumbled in class, that we would stop at the store after class and he could pick out some cookies.

Didn't work.

He did behave better during class, and only cried a couple of times and the crying didn't last long. But no tumbling. He watched the teacher and other kids more this week, so all in all, I think there was progress. Of course, once we got in the van to go home, he asked to go to the store to get cookies. I gently reminded him that although he behaved much better, he did not do any tumbling, and that was the deal, so no cookies. We'll see how next time goes.
