Monday - Oh, what a day!

Grace did incredibly well at therapy today. She increased her stability on the b~ ball and then walked better and longer on the stones. Still doing the balance beam well and the hand movements, too.

However, the excitement of therapy was only the beginning. Now let me preface my story first with the note that many people will not get the magnitude of her accomplishment's today. But her Mommy sure does. So Grace wanted something to drink and I told her that her drink was in the refrigerator and that wouldn't it be great if she could go in the fridge when she wanted to! So I showed her ONCE how to stand and use both hands on either door to push and pull at the same time. At first she tried but it was not budging and she said, "I can't do it", I told her yes you can keep pulling and it opened!!!! This is the first time EVER that she has been able to do something physical without numerous amounts of instruction, etc. I jumped for joy and of course she was very excited too.

Then it was tv time. I let her watch Toy Story 2 and for the first time ever she created conversations with me about the movie telling me what the characters were feeling and why. My jaw just dropped open. She was not in a 'frozen state' with eyes and ears only fixed on the movie. So of course I started to test her more (yes, my cynical side again) she answer my questions when I was in the other room asking her at a low voice, too!! AMAZING I TELL YOU!

Oh, thank you Lord!
