Day 1 at the gym, Dives 4 & 5

The first full day of therapy and dives went well.  Will and I were solo this morning in the spaceship.  There has been one other little girl joining us, but she just couldn't get out of bed this morning!  I don't blame her!  Will has done great on all the dives so far.  He settles into his chair with his little Buzz and Woody figurines and watches a little quality programming, this morning it was Doc Mcstuffins!  I'm anxious to start seeing some changes in him.  He gained so much from our last trip to the oxygen chamber.  It will be very exciting to see more changes occur!
Miss Tiffany and Buzz were waiting for Will in the gym.  Will has been talking about going to Miss Tiffany's gym, so he is excited to get to go this morning.  Will played with a favorite toy while I talked to Tiffany about goals and objectives.  I'm excited to see what she does this time around.  When I think about how far Will has come in the past year, it really is unbelievable.  Tiffany knows her stuff and she know how to get Will to do it!  I know he'll make tremendous progress while he's here.
One thing I mentioned to Tiffany was Will's desire to stand all by himself.  He tries to accomplish this at home, but is just not able, quite yet.  Here are some short clips of some of what he did today.  

That was the warm up activity.  Will seemed to like it.  Next he moved on to standing on his own...

From there he went to this...


And then to this...

What a hard working boy!  



Will was a hard worker (of course) today.  I will try to zero in on a few videos each day.  I realize this post is a little video crazy, but it's the first day... I just couldn't hold back!

Will still had enough energy to play with Buzz and Woody during his 5th spaceflight.  Then we even went to the pool once we got back to the hotel.  I'm sure he's sleeping hard right now!  I should be too.  
Good night my friends.

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!
