The boy finally managed to make consecutive jumps with a jump rope and successfully yo’d a yo-yo. Or whatever you call it. In fact, he managed 2 yo’s in a row.
After his success with the jump roping, he had trouble doing it again and whined how he “just did it, but now I caaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn’t!” He’s sung this song so many times now, I’ve lost count. Only seconds before, he couldn’t even manage a single jump. Now he’s upset because he can’t jump on one leg backwards with his arms crossed.
Considering I never figured out jump-roping until middle school, he really needs some perspective here.
No patience.

Well – obviously he has to master yo-ing WHILE he’s jumping rope !!!
