A hemi mom in a group I'm with, asked how our kids did on swings because her 9 year old couldn't quite do it. Since Blondie is also 9, this is for her. Blondie has been doing this for awhile, but I think it basically comes down to practice, practice, practice. She is also a left side weakness, so she says she uses her right leg to really get going, but she tries to move them both sort of at the same time.
I hope this helps your daughter.

Pot holders
Blondie has watched her little sister make pot holders with the little square loom that comes in a kit from the craft store. She used to have trouble with the loops made from jersey type material, so she never really did a whole lot with it. When you have to fight to get them to even stretch across it isn't much fun.
Cheesie was the main loom user, but it cracked. Over the weekend Brian bought her a new one that came with nylon loops and Blondie immediately tried it out too. Since she was successful her Dad brought her a loom of her own. She is so excited to hand make some gifts for Christmas (etc) that she started a list of who needs one. In the mean time it is a great way to work those little hand muscles on her right hand even more and make them stronger!
