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...

Soccer!

Miss Isabel decided she would play soccer this year.  She played when she was in Kindergarten but when 1st grade sign ups came around she said she didn't want to play.  When I asked her why, she said..."It's just too much running!".  Then when sign ups came in second grade, she thought she might like it again.  Well, we signed her up and then she decided that she didn't want to play after all.  Practices hadn't even started yet so we let her quit.  Many of her friends were playing though and I think once the season really got started, she regretted her decision.  So here we are, a year later and  Izzy (as she's starting to use these days) is playing soccer in the third grade!  There is still a lot of running, which she's still not crazy about, but hey...she's playing!
