While the pattern did resemble a circle, it was becoming obvious that I was going to have to become inventive. Up until this time, I counted myself lucky. But Jordan was a true beginner. Having seen 25 years and countless gin and tonics pass since I was a beginner, I turned to the ABC's for advice. I know, I know, Katie taught you everything you know.
Lets form a square.
Once in position, I made Jordan walk toward each of us. At first I allowed her to cut the corners, but as time progressed, I required her to ride into the corners, thereby forcing her to use her legs in coordination with her hands. This exercise was repeated over and over again, usually with unwitting volunteers who had stopped by to sample the latest beer Jordan's father had brought. Much to the relief of her beer strapped Dad, Jordan soon got the hang of this leg-hand coordination thing and quickly began to make progress. However, with the fall season building to a climax and with daylight becoming a scarce commodity, I had to turn my attention away from Jordan for a while.
