Day 4- Dives 7 & 8

Dive #7 was Austin and Will again.  Will agreed to the Disney Jr channel this morning.  There was a Sofia the First episode on.  Sofia turned into a mermaid and helped rescue a little mermaid from a sea witch.  I have to admit I was kind of into it!

Day 4 at Miss Tiffany's gym...
When we got out of the spaceship and went over to the gym Miss Tiffany was working with a familiar face.  It was Jordan!  We met Jordan a couple trips ago.  Tiffany sees him on a weekly basis. Will loves to watch Jordan work in the gym.  This morning Will got to play catch with Jordan.
Will was super quiet when Jordan was there, but showed his excitement after Jordan left.  Pretty cute!

Tiffany put the suit on Will first thing and then he tried out his new stripped down Alfie!  Every time we're here she takes a new piece off.  I love it!


Notice there is nothing holding Will's hips in place now.  That means he has to really engage his core and use his hips to get his legs to take him places.  Before he leaned against the back and hip supports, he can't do that anymore.

Some more ladder walking

Next is the cage.  Once Will was all hooked up, Miss Tiffany did a fun exercise to work on balance.  Will thought it was great!  I can't say that he would have liked this a year ago.  He's so much more confident in his body now.  


Will said, "I like going on a ride!"

Moving on to something new...well, he has done this another time but not this trip, until now!  This is a hard exercise for Will.  It will strengthen those legs and help him with that "digging in" movement when walking.  



Floor exercise time!  More sit-ups, and a few new ones.  Here's a little glimpse...

 


 

  Finally... with very tired legs, Will walks with his canes again.  What a hard worker!  I am one proud Mama!


Dive # 8
Austin and Will are once again joined by Miss Dawn.  Will watches the ever popular Doc McStuffins.  I sat back and wrote in my journal and read my book and almost fell asleep!  That would be a first.  I think I'll try to go to bed before 11:30 tonight!

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!
