Week 2, Monday, Dives #15 & #16

Hello my friends!  Welcome back to week 2!  Today Will was dragging a little bit.
The dives went well.  A lighter crowd this morning, just Josie and Will.  Will requested the movie Home.  I think Grandma Linda liked it too!

After the morning dive we went back to the Rezzi.  We missed breakfast this morning so I whipped some eggs up for myself and some fruit for Mr. Will (he already had his chocolate chip muffins in the spaceship!).  After that I suggested we get to work!  Will had other ideas.  He wanted to play Mario Bros on the Wii U.  Hmmm.  Before I had breakfast cleaned up he was on the video game.  I let him play for a few minutes and then told him we needed to make some videos.

I decided to get Miss Tiffany's stickers out and let Will decorate the sliding door.  That's what he did.



I decided this was just too easy.  I grabbed the canes to kick it up a level.



Still pretty easy stuff. (boy has that changed!)  Let's really shake things up and step outside to admire the stickers from behind the glass!  Now this is pretty big stuff!  You can't tell from the video but there is a pretty big, clunky track for the sliding door that Will has to step over.  The elevator on Friday was his first real experience (that I'm aware of) with stepping over obstacles.  He did great with that but that was level with the ground, nothing he had to clear with his foot.  Here goes nothing!



Not bad Mr!  He finally got turned around to look at the back of the stickers, he thought that was pretty funny!  Now it's time to come back in.


So, we didn't get too much therapy in today, but what he did was pretty terrific!  He was proud of himself and I was a proud Mama too!



It was back to the spaceship (we haven't referred to it much by that name lately) for dive #16.  This afternoon it was Josie and Will again but this time they were joined by Mr. Stephan.  He's a very nice man who is battling cancer.  Home was on the television again.  Once again, an easy dive.

Tonight we got Will's reading homework out and worked on that.  He read the first few pages really well!  He faded quickly and it took him several minutes to finish, but he could answer several questions about the reading afterward.  Pretty good work for Mom being the teacher!

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!
