Day 3 Dive 5 & 6

Dive #5- It's Austin and Will again, and of course their Mamas!
It's Disney Jr again on the television, thank Goodness Austin doesn't mind!

Day 3 at the Gym...
Boy did Will work hard today!  He started with some floor exercises.   I should have done them too!


There was sit-ups, side crunches and some arm and leg extensions.  Whoa!


After that the suit came on and so did the weight!  Will needs to learn to dig his feet in and pull himself forward.  This is Miss Tiffany's way of working on that!


That's roughly 25 pounds he's dragging behind him!  

Will moved on to more ladder walking after the weight was taken off.  I really zoomed in so you can see how his little foot really needs the help of this tool.  He scrapes the divider often and then still crossed his feet when he leaves the ladder.  He'll get it though!


Now for something new.  A different way to walk around the room.  


Will has a tendency to lean against the back of his gait trainer (Alfie).  This walker doesn't allow that.  He has to push forward.  

Moving on to the cage.  This time Meme gets to play catch with Will!  


After the cage Will gets to try out the new walker again.  This time right into Meme's arms.  She's leaving tonight to spend some time with her brother (Uncle Denny), Will is going to miss her!  (I will too!)


Finally to the walking with canes.  Will went back to his canes today.  They are a quad cane versus the tripod canes that he used yesterday.  He's more comfortable with these...1) they are his 2) they offer more stability.  He did quite well with them today.  A perfect finale!  


Dive # 6  Once again it's Will and Austin.  And once again it's Doc McStuffins!  Tomorrow we'll have to break out the new Peppa Pig we picked up at Target last night.  Sorry Austin!  

After the gym we came back to The Rezzi for a bit.  Will and MeMe worked on ABC Mouse...

Meme packed her things and then we headed to Olathe, KS.  The home of Uncle Denny and Aunt Saundra!  My cousins Ashlee and Lynsey were there with their hubby's and their babies!  It was great to see new baby Evan!  Thanks for the hospitality!  I hope Meme has fun with her brother for the next couple of days!  It was great having her stay with us.

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!
