Dives #31 & #32--Day 11 at the gym

Dive #31
This morning went well.  Will and Josie watched Mickey Mouse, happily and Mr. Austin slept.  I got some reading in and life is good!

Day 11

Today had some lows but also some very nice highs!  Will started off strong with some nice bridges.


He got the rest of his warm ups in and moved on to knee walking.  He's still improving on this.


Next was the scooter, barefoot.  Remember when he started this last week.  Miss Tiffany had to give him a little help from behind and he barely made it anywhere.  Check him out now!


Now this is the part of the day that fell apart.  Mr, Will had a little melt down.  I'm not sure what happened exactly, but I can tell that he definitely recovered!  He did a couple flower/candles and then some fantastic work!


Pretty great huh!  Oh wait...there's more!  Miss Tiffany got out some new tools.  Plunger Poles!  They look a little silly, but check out what Will does with them!


From there it just kept getting better!  Watch this next one.  He has to save the minion and doesn't even realize how amazing that is!  This video is a little lengthy, but worth it...I promise!


Holy Plunger Poles!  Wasn't that amazing!  I'm loving those things!  Now that Will has stood with the poles, let's see how he does ON HIS OWN!  Again, a quite lengthy video, but you will not want to miss the ending!


What a day and this wasn't everything. Next Will went upstairs and walked down the "big stairs" and climbed in the tractor tire and then back up the stairs.  I have video of that but I figured this was enough for one day!  I'll save tractor tires for another!

Dive #32
So, this is Mr. Austin's last dive.  He's gotten 40 in and he's ready to get home!  I'm going to miss him and his Mom, Julie.  You kind of get used to having the same people in the chamber and then when they leave, it's kind of sad.  I know he's going home to bigger and better things though!  His mom didn't join us today, instead she turned Austin over to me while she finished packing their hotel room and getting their dogs ready for the trip home.  I feel honored that she trusts me to watch over Austin, although he is no problem!  He sleeps the whole time!  Well, he tries anyway.  Today Miss Josie is LOVING the movie.  Miss Cheryl put the movie Home in.  Will was pretty nervous that Josie wouldn't like it.  He wanted Miss Cheryl to change it to Mickey Mouse.  Miss Cheryl promised she would change it if Josie was unhappy.  Not a chance!  She loved it!  She squealed with delight!  Will watched the movie happily and let his eyes (not his head) look over her way if she got too close to him.  I think he was still nervous that she would start crying any minute.  She did not!  Austin tried to sleep although he struggled to stay asleep with the squeals!  Grandma Linda and I laughed and enjoyed the 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...
