Dives 17 & 18 Day 6 at the gym

Dive 17   The Amazing Miss Cheryl is at the controls!  She was in a class all last week, so this is the first time we have seen her.  She greets us with a big, tight hug.  Will is excited to see her too.  When the spaceship door closes Will and Miss Cheryl have a nice little, goofy bird call that they use to get through the ear popping stage.  He calls to her...so answers, repeat, repeat!!   He was laughing so hard, there was no need for ear rubbing!  We're the only passengers this morning so I have lots of time to journal about our weekend and get caught up on my reading.  Will is enjoying the Disney Jr channel again.  Gotta love that Mickey Mouse!

Day 6
When we exit the spaceship, Aunt Heather is waiting!  She follows us to the gym and watches as Will has a typical Monday...I guess.
He's S L O W moving at first and then he just gets plain silly!  Heather was still impressed with how hard he works, goofiness or not!
Here's how the morning started...


                                                                                                        Not good!

The morning did get a little better but he never worked as hard as his usual self.  I really hope tomorrow is better.  A rough day at the gym is still a day at the gym.  I'm one proud Mama!

This is Will's big goal!  Anyone know how to teach a little guy how to whistle?

Now this video is a good one.  Finally toward the end of the 3 hour session, Mr. Will produces some awesome work!

Did you notice he got up without any help??!?!!  That's my boy!

Now check this one out!  I had to cut it off, because he was standing for awhile!  I don't know how long this one was, but what impressed me was how much he was moving his hand and still staying on his feet!  Just process that for a minute.  Imagine if every time you moved your hand you had to really think about keeping your feet on the ground.  This kid is pretty amazing!


Heather stuck around while Will and I ate our lunch.  Before we boarded the spaceship we exchanged hugs.  It was nice to have her here for a quick visit.  I think she got a lot out of visit too.  She probably has a whole new admiration for her nephew.  I don't think she realized until she saw him in the gym today how hard he truly does work!

My little video loving boy wanted me to video this moment!

Will loves his Aunt Heather!

Dive 18 Will and Myself, Miss Dawn and Miss Cheryl!  Will is excited that Miss Cheryl is going on the spaceship with us!  Will wouldn't let us talk during the ear popping stage, but after that it was catch up time!  Cheryl and I are both essential oil fans so we start there.  She asked me about my family, and then was upset that she just missed them this weekend.  We talk about several other things but in the end spend a lot of time talking about my brother who passed away this past October.  I share with Cheryl that Eric was Will's biggest fan and was always rooting him on.  Though we didn't talk on the phone all that often, he would always call me several times during our KC trips to check in and let me know that Will is a strong little boy who is "going to be just fine".  I miss those calls.  Cheryl listens to me talk and understands where I am coming from.  She and Captain David also lost a brother several years ago.  She is a good listener.  We have some good laughs and I only cry a smidge.  Phew!  Another dive down!

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!
