The Gross Motor Payoff

submitted by JoeyBarton

Mason has always been a hard worker. If a task he’s assigned to do is fun, he’s all over it and stays on that task and hits his mark, completing whatever he was asked to do.
I’ve commented a few times that Mason’s running drew comparisons to the morphing of a 3 legged dog, a bobblehead doll and a marionette.
Picture that and you’ve got a good idea of what it looked like. His arms flailed, his head bobbled back and forth, all while his torso, arms and legs seemed to be going in different directions at the same time.
He was a balanced imbalance in motion.
