Day 5...first week down...2 more to go!

Today was a new day!  With the help of some little friends and some great ideas from Miss Tiffany...the week ended on a much better note.  Will was excited to take his little friends (3- Buzz figurines, Mike the Knight, Trollee, Yip, Yap, Pluto, "little" Boots and Woody) with us this morning.  I had to give him a little talk first though. I told him they could come along, but only if he worked really hard and didn't fuss about it. I know that sounds really mean.  I promise I said it in a very nice voice!  Anyway, he agreed!  
Tiffany had some new ideas too.  First of all she let Will choose what he wanted to do first... for Mr. Independant, that is a big deal!  So Mr. Will chose the scooter!  A new activity this week! Plus he got to use his friends in this one!  Bonus!
What a hard worker huh!  A pretty cute one at that!

The second choice...the stairs.  Deep breath, here we go!  Here's where the great idea from Miss Tiffany came into play.  Buzz has been on the stairs with Will, but he has never "taken off" from the stairs.  Of course...a launch pad at the top of the stairs!  Beautiful Miss Tiffany, beautiful!  Check out this video...
Now I have to be truthful, he did cry the second time up the stairs but only a little and it didn't last long. Progress is a beautiful thing!
Tiffany and I had a little brainstorming session after therapy today.  It's so nice to be involved in therapy.  I don't know if she'll use any of my ideas, but she does let me talk...if you know me, you know I like to talk! Thanks again Miss Tiffany!   One week down.  We'll see what the second week brings.  I'm thinking it's going to be good!

I want to take a minute to say thanks to my wonderful husband back home.  He is doing an awesome job being a single father.  The job is hard enough just keeping up with two kids and their school and extracurricular activities.  Today he had to take Ben to the doctor, the verdict- strep.  Hope you feel better soon Ben.  Thanks for doing a great job Phil!  Iz...stay well!  I love you all and miss you very much!

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...

Soccer!

Miss Isabel decided she would play soccer this year.  She played when she was in Kindergarten but when 1st grade sign ups came around she said she didn't want to play.  When I asked her why, she said..."It's just too much running!".  Then when sign ups came in second grade, she thought she might like it again.  Well, we signed her up and then she decided that she didn't want to play after all.  Practices hadn't even started yet so we let her quit.  Many of her friends were playing though and I think once the season really got started, she regretted her decision.  So here we are, a year later and  Izzy (as she's starting to use these days) is playing soccer in the third grade!  There is still a lot of running, which she's still not crazy about, but hey...she's playing!
