Day 1 at Miss Tiffany's gym Dives 4 & 5

Dive #4
Will and I got to the spaceship this morning and met our "chamber mates".  Mr. John and Mr. Chet would be joining us this morning.  I hope they like Doc McStuffins!  As we were getting ready to get in the spaceship who should come in the gym door but Jordyn!  Will met Jordyn, gosh, like 3 or 4 trips ago.  Jordyn is a year older than Will and also loves Minions!  Will loves to watch Jordyn work in the gym.  I hope he gets to do that again this trip!  Jordyn went to Miss Tiffany's side and Will and climbed aboard the spaceship.  We cued up Doc (the movie choice of the dive) and settled in.  Mr. Chet slept most of the dive but Mr, John enjoyed Doc McStuffins.  He said it was pretty cute.  I read my book and did my "journaling" for the morning.  All is well!

Day 1 at Miss Tiffany's gym.
Will has been excited to see Miss Tiffany since we pulled into Kansas City.  He pushed Zipper (wheelchair) over to her side of the building and cruised right in the door.  Mr. Jordyn was just on his way out.
I am really excited to see what happens this trip.  Will has really wanted to be more and more independent at school and at home.  I hope that Miss Tiffany can give him the guidance he needs to gain more confidence in his abilities to gain independence!

Almost immediately I noticed something new in Miss Tiffany's gym... a shiny black bike!  I talked to Miss Tiffany last time (or was it the time before) about Will riding a bike.  We have tried this skill at home with a traditional trike equipt with a seat belt and shoestrings tying his little feet to the pedals.  I have walked beside him pushing his legs up and down to pedal the bike, while making sure he was strapped into the seat so he wouldn't fall off...all things we take for granted with a typical child.  I totally took these simple steps for granted with our other two children.  Tiffany explained that the bike is on loan from a company who wanted them to try it out.  So here's what happened next...


and then this...



which lead to this...



and finally...



That is one proud boy and I am one proud Momma!


Dive #5
After a quick lunch we boarded the ship for another dive.  This dive is a bit fuller.  We have Miss Cindy and her two boys Walter and Matthew (12-15ish) and Maria and her husband Richard.  I talked to Will about the boys and we thought they might like Despicable Me instead of Doc.  We were right!  They boys and Miss Cindy laughed the whole dive.  Will had fun watching them.  Maria didn't watch it though.  I got to settle in and read and journal and we marked another dive down in the books!

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!
