Day 6 at the gym- Dives 17 & 18

It's Monday morning of week 2!  Phil and the kids got on a 8:15am train and headed back home.  Will is on Dive 17 and 18 today.  That's hard to believe.  He is still doing really well with them.  Today he watched the Disney Jr channel on TV which worked out nicely.  Milleigh was back for the afternoon dive.  Will was happy to have her back, he didn't show it too much in the spaceship but this morning when I told him she would be back today he smiled really big.  We found out on the spaceship that she likes Mickey Mouse too!

Day 6 at the gym started off kind of shaky.  I think it was just a little hard for Will to keep up with the pace at first. It is Monday after-all!  Transitioning to sit on the bench even proved to be a difficult task and he's been doing pretty well with that lately.  He finally snapped out of it though, by the time he was standing with his canes he was awake and looking good!  This video is a little long, but I wanted you to see the whole thing so I broke it up into two parts.  Will is doing some really exciting things!  Just see for yourself.
Part 1...
Part 2

Amazing control to be able to kick a pin over, even though he lost his balance after that and fell backwards. Then he had enough control to bend over and fix his cane.  Now do you see why I wanted you to see the whole video!  Amazing stuff!

Now on to the stairs.  If you recall back in October Will worked on the stairs everyday.  This time Miss Tiffany has Will working on some other areas but still wants to work on the steps too.  Well, Mr. Will still doesn't like them one bit.  I asked him this morning over breakfast why he didn't like them.  He thought about it for a minute and then said, "I don't know."
Today was much better than usual.  I took him less then 12 minutes to go up the stairs and back down! Normally this takes him around half an hour!  He did cry a bit today, but I suggested another option.

He did cry once he got to the top, but then went on to climb back down.  One of these days he'll be climbing stairs without a problem!

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!
