Friday of 2nd week- Day 10

Wow!  I can't believe the second week is already over.  Will has made such amazing progress that I'm kind of sad there's only one week left.  I do miss my hubby and my big kids though, so I guess it has to end sometime!  Today Will worked "super hard" which is how he would describe it.  If you haven't figured it out yet, this kid is a worker!  Today he was cruising at the windowsill, not one of his favorite activities.
It's one of the more challenging activities Tiffany has him do.  Will's hips are not very strong so controlling the side step is difficult for him.  After several minutes of cruising he stepped to the side and at the same time took his hand off the ledge.  He lost his balance and fell, hitting his face (right between his upper lip and his nose) right on the edge of the ledge.  Ouch!  He cried, which means it must have hurt because Will has a pretty high tolerance for pain.  Tiffany picked him up and loved on him, but he was still upset.  I took him from Tiffany and gave him a big hug and as I was rubbing his back he said, with tears running down his face, "let's try it again".  You can take a life lesson from that story.

Now for this video for today...
Yesterday I showed you his new bike.  This is another balance activity Will is working on.
He loves those beanbags!

Once again Mr. Will had a special visitor this week.  I knew this one was coming but he didn't!  MeMe came to see us!  She got to "the gym" around 11:30.  I didn't know if Will would keep working if he saw her so I had her go in the side viewing room, which has a two way mirror.  At the very end of his session when he was working on standing with the canes, I motioned for her to come out.  I said "Mr. Will did you know that you have a special visitor here today"?  When she came out of the room, he said "MeMe"!  He was all smiles for the rest of the day!  
At the end of the session Will got to blow some bubbles for MeMe!  He was a happy little boy!

The Final Week! A fun filled weekend with family and dives 27 &28

Happy Monday!  It's week 3.  We're almost finished.  Will is ready to go home.  He is missing his Daddy, (and he just saw him yesterday!). Phil and the kids came in Friday night and stayed until yesterday afternoon.  We filled the weekend with as much as we could!  Two movies (me and big kids), 3 dives (Will and his daddy), indoor skydiving (Ben and Isabel), and church (together!)!  Together again!  My kiddos!  Will's waving to the camera! All the happy divers...Phil, Grandma Linda, Mason (front and center!) Josie and Will! I had a fun surprise for Ben and Isabel!  Indoor Skydiving!  They LOVED it!  Score one for MOM!  It was fun to watch.  Will said he's going to do it next time!  I might just try it too!   They take you out once to let you figure it out and then give you a second flight to go much higher! The first video shows Isabel's first flight, the instructor said sh...

Hello Friday!!! Dives 36 and 37

Dive 36- Josie and Will.  Started the day with another dose and oxygen and Mickey Mouse! Our last solo workout in Miss Tiffany's gym.  We skipped the yoga today and went right for the stairs.  Will grabbed his canes and some friends and got started.  As he was walking it occurred to me how often I took for granted when Ben and Isabel went walking across the floor with toys in their hands.  Just think about that for a minute...then watch this video! He carried Mario and Luigi to the stairs.  I carried them up the stairs and then he proceeded to throw them down.  Typical kiddo! After getting hurled down the stairs now poor Mario has to be thrown in a hoop!  Poor guy! He threw all of Mario's friends in the basket too.   Then he made his way across the room to leave Miss Tiffany one last message.  He made it about halfway when he fell, but you know Will, he got right up and finished the job! I think Will enjoy...

Week 3, Tuesday, Dives 29 & 30

Dive 29- Mr. Will and Josie.  Mickey Mouse, our morning ritual! After the dive Will headed over to Miss Tiffany's gym.  I guess we'll stick around, he likes working in there!  He basically set the whole day up, I only added one thing!  He started himself on the stairs.  I just stood back and filmed! Rock on , Mr. Will! This next thing I added.  The next time you get up from sitting (in a chair for example) think about what all goes into that. I think this will be something he could master when we come back this summer!  By the way, Miss Tiffany will be back for that one!   Back to Will's plan.  He didn't want me to video him getting into position but I thought it showed a lot of good work on Will's part.  Pulling yourself on a scooter is an amazing workout!   Now for the "real" video.  Will set up all the pins and now he is kicking them over, according to his plan!
