He is now very skillful when it comes to walking, jumping, climbing, skipping, galloping, etc. He is also better able to catch, throw and do other hand movements. His finger dexterity is also better and he is able to grasp things strongly. He has an improved co-ordination between his hands and legs. As a result activities like skipping with a rope, that require a lot of hand, leg and eye coordination is something that he can now do smoothly.
