Will makes three...

Happy April Everyone! Dive 37- It's a quiet one again, Just Ms. Sherry, Mr. Kenny, Will and myself.  Will chose Despicable Me (again!) and we're off! Day 15  ~The Final Day~ I know I say this every time, but the time really does fly when we're here.  I can't believe Will finished his last day of 3 weeks today.  Way to go Will! He did some amazing stuff these last 3 weeks and today was no different.  Check him out walking (and scratching) across the room.  Awesome Stuff! His fall was even good!  Slow and controlled.  I'm so proud of how hard he has worked.   These next video are all similar but different too.  You should definitely watch all three of them, completely.  He hasn't even worked on standing with the canes this time and still did amazingly well!  See for yourself! This next one is pretty funny.  You have to listen closely to the conversation between Miss Tiffany and Will right up unti...

Dive 35 This morning it's the normal crew, (minus Mr. Chet).  Ms. Sherrie, Mr. Kenny, Mr. John, Will and myself.  Only 5 more dives to go.  I can't believe how quickly it has gone by.  Will chooses Despicable Me...again!  I'm so glad we have a good group who tolerates Will's movie choices!   Day 14 One more day to go.  That is really hard to believe!  Will has worked so hard and today is no different.  He starts out with his warm up exercises.     and don't forget popcorn! Then onto the bike, Will is loving this new order!  There is a lot to remember when learning to ride a bike.  The biggest frustration for Will is getting stuck and not being able to get going again as quickly as he would like.  We came up with some steps for him to think about to help with his problem solving and to prevent some of his frustration.  Step 1 is try to backup.  Step 2 is use the wall to push off (if...

Dive 33 This morning was a lighter crew, no Mr. Chet.  We still had Ms. Sherrie and Mr. Kenny and Mr. John though!  Will choose Doc McStuffins, the first time in a few days.  I sat back with my book and my journal and off we go! Day 13 It's Wacky Wednesday!  Miss Tiffany had the idea of switching the order of everything today.  Great idea!  Will loves the bike and he gets to start with that!  Yay! Off of the bike and on to the canes... Then we ventured back upstairs, but this time in Zipper (wheelchair) to try out some new stairs.  Notice Will is just chatting up a storm and not worrying about the stairs!  Progress!! There was also a chance to do a bit of cruising while in the area! (talk about progress..go back to the first visit!) I think he only got a little worried one time while on the stairs today.  Awesome work Will! Back at the gym he still did most of the other things.  Then he...

Dive 31 This morning is was back to the normal group.  Will and myself along with Ms. Sherrie, Mr. Kenny, Mr. Chet and Mr. John.  Will chose Home for the movie.  It was a pretty easy dive, everyone is used to the routine!  I got to sit back and journal and then start a new book. Day 13 Will got started right away with his warm-up exercises.  He's getting pretty good at them!  Then he moved on to the bolster.  He's making progress on this too.  Notice that Miss Tiffany has her legs crossed today instead of putting her feet on Will's feet to steady him.  Yay!  I love progress! Next Will pushes the weighted shopping cart across the floor to the yellow brick road where the scooter is waiting.  He climbs onto the scooter and takes off! Today, Miss Tiffany raises the bar.  Will is taking his Minion friends for a ride to the blue mat...on the scooter.  Scooting on carpet is much harder than tile.  Go Will G...

Dive 29 Daddy got to do this one with Will.  Phil gave me the morning off!  They joined Mr. John, Mr. Chet, Mr. Kenny and Ms. Sherrie for a morning dive. Day 11 Phil stayed with Will while I enjoyed a slow moving morning at the Rezzi with Ben and Isabel.  They slept in while I enjoyed a nice breakfast.  Then after she got up and had breakfast, Isabel and I ran to Michael's craft store before heading to the gym.  Will was getting ready to push the cart when we got there. After he made it across the room is was time to sit on the scooter and knock down some pins.  Here's how that transition looks... Will enjoys knocking down the pins.  They have little faces on them and he likes to see the faces before he kicks them down.  Should I be worried?! Will felt like singing today...Sorry buddy, not while you're scooting! Now for throwing bean bag animals.  I had a guest camera-girl today, Will's sister.  Enjoy this...

The weekend... Phil and the kids came up Saturday afternoon around 1:30.  We were so excited to see them.  It was a rainy day in Kansas City.  We skipped the Easter Egg Hunt with our friend Masy because of the rain.  So we were just hanging out at the Rezzi when they drove up! Easter Sunday The Easter Bunny found us!   The kids sampled some of their chocolate and then we got ready for brunch!  We met Mr. Chet, Ms. Cindi and Matthew and Walter for brunch at the Santa Marta Retirement Community in Olathe, KS.  Mr. Chet just happens to run the place!  They were very gracious hosts to our family.  Brunch was delicious!  There was so much food, you couldn't possibly try it all.  After we finished eating Mr. Chet gave us a tour.  The community was beautiful.  Nothing like any retirement facility I have ever seen.  Thank you for your hospitality Surmaczewicz Family! After brunch we headed back to T...

Happy Friday Everyone! Dive 25- This morning is a light crowd.  Only Ms. Sherrie and Mr. Kenny and Will and Myself.  Will requested Despicable Me.  I spent some time with my journal and my book.  Another dive in the books! Day 10 It's the end of week 2.  Only 1 more week to go.  Will has made some really good progress this trip so far.  I am impressed with his scooting and his cart pushing.  His cane walking is starting to really look nice too.  Of course the bike is just fun!  Will loves it and he's picking up Tiffany's comments and directions pretty quickly. I have lots of video that I could post again, but I am just going to pick one very awesome one to leave you with today.  Check out this little walker!! I hope that one is good enough to keep you coming back next week! Dive 26 Mr. Kenny and Ms. Sherrie are back.  Will and myself and Cheryl's daughter Mason!  She is off school today so she hopped in wit...
