Day 4, Dives 10 & 11

Our day started a half hour earlier than usual.  Captain David had to be somewhere this morning so we had to start at 7:30 instead of 8:00.  No big deal, right?!?
We were solo on the spaceship this morning, Will thought the Disney Jr channel would be fine today.  He was happy when Mickey Mouse Clubhouse came on the TV.  Dive #10 went well.  No problems!
On to the gym.  Miss Tiffany came in early for us so we could go right to the gym.  Thank you Miss Tiffany!  Will had a lot of energy this morning.  Most of you know he really struggles with his balance so this activity is really a challenge for him, but he did quite well with it this morning!

After this it was on to the ladder.  Notice his face, that morning energy is already disappearing.  It is Thursday of the first week after all!

It was time for the treadmill.  Will had just transitioned from Alfie to the cage and finally landing on the treadmill.  Will didn't like this very much and was still trying to get over that when Miss Tiffany was ready to put the belt and bungees on.  Once again I used the readers of this blog to keep Will going.  Here is his message to you!

Now here is Will in motion.  8 minutes of motion with very little assistance!  Amazing kid!  I am so proud of him and also very excited for him!  I think he is proud of himself too!

Will is doing so many great things.  I wish I could show you everything that he's doing, but I also want to show you the immense progress he makes from day to day.  For example, take a look at this.  Just two days ago he was given the opportunity to jump, fast forward to today, Thursday and look at the progress he's making.  He is really starting to understand how to jump and what motions he has to make.  So cool!


Dive #11  Will is looking pretty tired by the time he's ready to board the spaceship.  He's never fallen asleep in there so I'm not holding my breath that it will happen today.  We got in our seat and the door closed.  Soon after the process started I realized that I didn't grab Woody and Buzz!  Are you kidding me!  Luckily Mason wanted to share two of her friends with Will and luckily one of them was Kristoff, from Frozen.  Thank you Mason for sharing!  The movie began, Mason's pick, Beauty and the Beast.  I haven't seen this movie in years.  I actually watched it a bit.  Will told me he was tired about halfway through, but he still didn't fall asleep.  I wasn't surprised!

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!
