Dives 8 & 9 - Day 3 at the gym

Ok, before I tell you about the day I wanted to throw in a little disclaimer.  I use youTube to upload my videos.  When the video is not playing they apparently run an ad in it's place.  I have no control over this.  I simply use youTube so you can have better access on your mobile device.  Please don't hold the advertisements against me.  My parents informed me that Hilary Clinton was on my blog! I just wanted to make sure you knew that I had nothing to do with that!  Phew, I feel better now!  :)

Dive #8
This morning Will woke up on his own and was ready to go.  We met Mr. John, Austin and his Mom Julie in the spaceship again and we're off!

Day 3- The dreaded first Wednesday!

This is usually Will's "worst" day at the gym.  I say that loosely because he still did excellent work, but today is harder than the others.  His little muscles are probably a little sore from the work of the past two days and he's just a little slower today.   To top it off, it's storming outside and the room is a little darker.  I don't think that helped anything!

Here's one of the warm up exercises.  The Crab...


See what I mean.  Even the warm ups are harder.  After that he did some more core work and then it was time for walking.  Again...it's Wednesday!


Will was making his way over to the windows where two of his Minion friends were waiting for him on the windowsill.  He was moving very slowly so Miss Tiffany thought she would encourage him to speed it along a bit.


Crazy kid!  He finally made it to the window.  We stopped for a snack (some much needed fruit snacks-a little sugar might get him moving!).  Then he moved on to the  building the train.  Again, being a stormy Wednesday, this task took a little longer than it typically has.  He did make an amazing save though.  Check it out!


Once he was finished with the train our time in the gym was running out.  He didn't have time to go upstairs today so Miss Tiffany created a place for him to cruise the wall in her gym.  He started out walking toward the wall using his canes.  Then he cruised along the wall, past a mirror and a closed door (he didn't like that part) then he had to negotiate a corner (something new to him), and then the video will show the rest.


The process was too long to show you the whole thing, but it was fun to see him get from the windowsill to Zipper by cruising and then pushing the cart.  He worked hard today and was happy to be finished!  Hopefully tomorrow he'll be back to normal.  We'll see!

Dive #9
Same afternoon crew.  The morning crew plus Mr. Jeremy.  Everyone is so nice.  It's always nice to chat with them for a few minutes while the spaceship is getting to the right depth, when the oxygen goes on I fix Will's hood and help with the others.  Then it's my time to journal and read my book.

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!
