Wednesday- week 2- dives 19 & 20

Dive # 19
Will, Josie and Mark!  He watched Mickey Mouse, Miss Cheryl's pick.  A safe bet for the morning dive!

After the dive we decided to stick around and head next door to the gym.  Cheryl told me we were welcome to use it, but I haven't chosen to until now.  Will thought it would be fun to "workout" in there.  He even wanted to start with the old exercises...


and a new one that I threw in..



After that we headed to the stairs. Will walked from the blue mat to the stairs using his canes then he climbed up the stairs, played with the Barney toy at the top (just like the old days!) then came down the other side.  Then I had a different idea.



and back down...



Next we went to another gym favorite, the monkey beanbags!  Will had the idea to walk over to the hoop throw a monkey and then "squat" down and get another one.  By all means...



He went through 5 monkeys.  He fell a handful of times, but in his usual fashion got right back up and started again!

We practiced standing up from sitting next.  He was a little rusty at first but quickly figured it out.  He remembered Miss Tiffany's advice, "Nose over toes".

(I'm not sure what he was talking about by the way!)

He soon became comfortable with the poles again.  The poles are harder to stand with than the canes because they don't have the support on the bottom that the canes have.  Will really has to engage his whole body to stand using these babies.

He is really using his youTube lingo here...

Just so you know, there was a little toddler in the waiting area, he didn't just pull the baby talk out of the air!

Now let's see how he does getting up with the poles...


I think he did pretty Fantastic!  What about you. friends?  😉

We didn't work out the whole time, (we can't do everything like the old days).  We headed to the Rezzi for a little down time and some lunch.  Then it was back to the spaceship for dive #20!

Dive # 20 The halfway point!!  This dive was just Miss Josie and Mr. Will.  Cheryl asked Will for the movie selection.  He couldn't think of one so I suggested she surprise them again.  She chose Paddington.  I appreciated it, Will thought it was ok.  He didn't object though!

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!
