Dives 21 & 22- Day 8 at the gym

Will woke up at 6:30am (on his own) but then stayed in bed until 7:00.  I think we found our new bedtime 7:30pm.  He didn't seem too tired last night when I put him in bed, but he didn't say a peep until 6:30 this morning, so I think he was ready!
This morning he was talking about Miss Cheryl before we even left Rezzi!  He just loves her!  When we got to the spaceship though it was Captain David.  Don't get me wrong, Will likes Captain David too, but he's not Miss Cheryl!  Cap. David told Will that Cheryl would be back this afternoon which Will accepted so all was good.  Disney Jr was playing on the TV.  Appartently Will had never seen this episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse because he was so into it that I didn't even have to rub his ears!  He took a couple of hard swallows, all by himself, and that's all it took!

Day 8
Will had another great day at the gym!  He was ready to go again this morning.  He did the usual knee walking (with very little falling!) and then he climbed in Alfie to race back to the mat.  Alfie is Will's walker, one of his means of getting from point A to point B so it would be nice if he could just crawl over to Alfie then stand up and get ready to walk.  That is what he's working toward.  Alfie will roll away if Will leans on it and just remember Will doesn't have the best balance.  He is showing great improvement though...


Will and Miss Tiffany have this race thing going.  Will is picking up speed and a more steady gait!  Watch out Tiffany!


Will has been having a great time on our couch at the Rezzi.  I was telling Miss Tiffany about him standing up and trying to balance on one foot.  So they headed over to the blue wall where he could get some more practice getting into the standing position!


Next up, standing at the mirror.  Will is really improving on this too!  Last time we were here he was working on kneeling at the mirror and now he's cruising along, standing up!  He loves to do pizza (legs apart), french fries (legs together) all across the mat.  Look what Miss Tiffany added today...


Lastly today, more standing using his canes and popping bubbles.  Today he lost his balance a few times but instead of falling back on the stool...HE FIXED IT!  Woo Hoo!

Dive #22
Miss Dawn and Miss Cheryl are on the spaceship again along with Mr. Will and myself.  I'm really enjoying my conversations with Miss Cheryl.  Will enjoyed watching a new Mickey Mouse DVD. Another successful dive!

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! Miss Cheryl poppe...
